Looks nice. How does this app authenticate with your various financial accounts?
It stores your credentials locally. The whole situation should improve with PSD2 (EU perspective).

Game of Thrones spoiler ahead: I am not wild about that name. The Lannisters are the bad guys throughout the run of the GoT story and by later seasons it is revealed that their wealth has mostly wasted away. They are only able to keep up appearances of wealth through taking on large amounts of debt and by looting their enemies.

Interesting. I personally use https://outbankapp.com/en/ . The app is closed-source; everything is locally stored.
