This service sounds great. Almost too good to be true (they'll scan and organize your "receipt shoebox" for free?). But I do have to say it's a little alarming that after signing up, it appears I can't do anything further without entering all my private bank details (including password and security question!) into a website that is not my bank.

Let's recap: 1) Website I've never heard of before 2) sounds too good to be true 3) immediately requires my bank's password.

I'm not saying this is a scam--infact I'm sure it isn't since I was sent there from a TC aritcle--but unfortunately logic still prevails and I have to pass on this one. I wish there was a way to test drive the site by manually uploading or entering my details (and if there is a way already, it should be more apparent how to do so).

It's difficult to build a useful service where people have to manually enter their data. We used to make it easier for people to enter in details without having to add their bank account, but we found that they were far less likely to come back after 30 days. I'll definitely sharpen this sign up flow and try to make it more compelling to add data without knowing much more about the service.
