Big Banks Lock Horns with Personal-Finance Web Portals

Yeah, but the advantage of OFX is that it is read-only and can use different credentials for authentication (depending on the bank.) Another advantage I forgot to mention is that I couldn't use my bank's 2FA with Mint.

Aahh, I've been moaning for ages that banks should implement a read-only interface for services like Mint; I had no idea that one already existed. I think this is the nail in Mint's coffin for me. Thanks!

This does invite the question of why Mint isn't using (or even just offering) OFX read-only credentials... or do they?

Not all banks support OFX
