Money Dashboard is a free online personal financial management service in the United Kingdom.[1] It provides users with the ability to view all of their online financial accounts in one place[2] and is powered by Yodlee, an account aggregation service used by many of the world’s leading banks and financial institutions.[3]
In addition to providing users with a complete view of their finances,[4] Money Dashboard provides users with the opportunity to analyse past transactions and budget for the future.[5]
The service is regarded as the UK’s first significant personal finance service, an equivalent to Mint.com in the US,[6] and promotes a strong emphasis on security. It is a read-only application and does not store users bank account usernames, ID’s or passwords; data services are handled by Yodlee.[7]
History
Money Dashboard was started in 2009 by serial entrepreneur Gavin Littlejohn,[8] and officially launched the first version of its service in 2011, which was developed with the intention to offer a free and easy solution to consumers who have lost control or who are struggling to control their finances.[9] In 2012 the company launched the second version of its service.[10]
