On the credit card question, banks could just provide some sort of standardized (e.g., RESTful) API to read credit card history. That's all.

The rest of bucketing functionality could be provided by iPhone apps, web-services, etc.

disclaimer: I know nothing about credit card processing.

There are huge privacy implications to that sort of thing, and very likely several laws or risks of serious liability that make it a thoroughly unappetizing business plan.

Why oh why can't banks just make an api version of their banking websites? SSL, login, password, server, voila!
