The brilliance of this is the use of email receipts as the data source. There's so many services that use Yodlee (and/or the the Quicken-style "direct connect" method) to fetch your transactions but they all eventually fall over:
- your credentials change
- your credentials require MFA authentication
- your credentials require a password reset or security question/answer intervention
- the bank, Yodlee, or the service lose track of the transaction offset and you get duplicate transactions or missing transactions
- the service doesn't transmit all available metadata
