>It's challenging enough to translate simple trading systems into machine code

I can attest to this from my experience with a bot I'm trying to build to handle my personal finances. When I sat down to try and encode the seemingly simple decisions I make like whether to pay a bill now or wait until the next check, things got really complicated really quickly.

I'm struggling a lot to get access to my bank's "bill pay" interface. Any recommendations for banks that support building out automation like this?

There are very small things I'd like to implement (budgeting, auto-categorization of expenditures) and some type of bill pay as well.

<strike>I can't really help you on bank API's</strike>. My bot uses webdriver.

Actually I can help with that: https://openbankproject.com/for-developers/

Huh.. Looks like they don't support my bank, but really love the project!

I'll have to check out webdriver, thanks!
