Which account aggregation service do you use? By account aggregation service, I mean a service where you log on using one user id and passwd and you can see information for all your accounts in other institutions in one page.
I'm looking for a service that does account aggregation for the following types of accounts: credit cards bank accounts (checking + savings) stock/brokerage accounts
Obviously since these are sensitive information, I would like to know which service is the best in terms of security and reputation. Thanks.

That being said, IF I was to use an online aggregator, Yodlee seems to have the highest reputation.
With these services you can see the info n the other accounts can you actually click and pay balances and stff on the other accounts, or do ou just have access to the balances?
I have BofA bank account. However, I don't see anywhere on the online banking website where I can add accounts in different institutions. Where can I find the aggregation service in BofA?
Also, is there a way to do this in Excel? Like getting one of my account information through Excel? Not possible yet?

zangalf said:Also, is there a way to do this in Excel? Like getting one of my account information through Excel? Not possible yet?Not possible & should never be possible. Excel is a multipurpose application for spreadsheets, not a personal finance application. If you want it to do personal finance stuff, you must make your own templates/macros or buy them from others.
If you want to do this on your desktop, get Money or Quicken or an alternative.
I have not tried any internet (yodlee) or desktop (GNUcash) application but was wondering if any of them offered the capability to plot total assets on a weekly basis over time to see how your net worth is fluctuating as well as determine annualized % returns for any custom defined time period.
I have been interested in such a capability for quite some time but before signing up or downloading a software wanted to find out if anybody here had experienced it in this area.
since most banks offer a version of Yodlee, do any of the banks offer any EXTRA PERKS (additional insurance, guarantees, etc) to help in case of fraud?

Where can I find the aggregation service in BofA? If your accounts are in Washington or Idaho, you can't use this. You should be able to in most/all other states. To use this, log into online banking. Then from the Accounts Overview page, you should see an option somewhere for My Portfolio. You'll have to sign up for the service (which is free). Then you can add all sorts of accounts including CCs, bank accounts at other instututions (except BofA in WA/ID), frequent flyer accounts, investment and loan accounts, etc.
