| Re: What is Yodlee? If I thought the FIs view of "our [individual consumer's] best interests" was anything besides maximizing the flow of money from the customer's pocket to theirs, I'd agree.

| Re: What is Yodlee? I don't know that Yodlee's intentions are dishonorable. They are merely making the case that their aggregation service has value to their customers, who happen to be financial institutions. Since these institutions have us as customers, it is good business for them to have our "best interests" in mind. Do you agree?

| Re: What is Yodlee? It's a service specializing in "aggregation" of your financial information from any FI that exposes any human-usable UI to you via the web. You setup all of the web accounts with all of your provided, then tell Yodlee about then and give them the account/password info, then they pretend to be you and login in and "skim" the information out of the resulting web pages, reformat it, and present it to you in some aggregate form. This allows all of this data to be collected even if the bank doesn't want to expose an OFX or similar interface. Since there are only a handful of UIs (written, one presumes, by IBM, Oracle, Sun, HP, Unisys, CA and similar and then personalized by the banks) Yodlee only has to figure out how to fake out this handful and then figure out which FIs are built on which software. It is resold by some folks like Fidelity (as "Full View") and, now, Money. From the POV of the end users, their intentions don't seem entirely honorable. Read http://corporate.yodlee.com/company/...10_28_roi.html and see if you think they have your best interests foremost.
