Mint
Welcome to Mint,
a Web site devoted to offering you the best financial tools for free!
When I first discovered this site, I was worried about security. With
all the identity theft going on out there and this site wanting to
put all your financial information in one place, I knew it had to
be secure. Well, they feature bank level security and it doesn't get
any safer than that!
Now, before I
delve deeper into Mint’s financial features, I want to point
out the Mint.edu tab. That will take you to the site’s blog,
where you will learn all about being smart with your finances. Whether
you're starting to manage debt or you're looking to learn more about
budgeting or saving, you’ll find valuable information here.
So, how does Mint
work? Well, you register, sign in and then provide the log in information
for any banks, credit cards or investment accounts you want to manage
through Mint. That puts your information all in one place for easy
access so that you can track your spending, budgets and more!
Another feature
I really like is Mint tries to find you savings. I also love how they
keep you up to date with your accounts. For example, if something
fishy happens, they e-mail you or text you by phone. They even keep
track of low balances.
Signing up is
easy! Just click on the Register button and fill out the form. You
need a valid e-mail address, a password and a zip code. Once you do
that, you can dive right in! Next, you go through the one time account
setup. It's the only time you’ll be entering your personal information
for your bank, credit cards, etc. Mint's security has been verified
by TRUSTe and VeriSign and it takes you through the process step by
step.
I’ve been
looking for a great way to manage my finances, budget easily and stay
on top of my accounts and I’m certain I have found all of that
and more here at Mint. Check it out today!
