Here is a suggestion for you.

I know I, and at least 15 other people will immediately switch if you make Citibusiness Online support work. Check out this thread from Mint's support forum: http://satisfaction.mint.com/mint/topics/citi_business_not_a...?

To make a long story short, Citibank for business is a major bank and there's a lot frustrated people that would love to use Mint for their business, if only they made it work. Meanwhile, Mint has marked this issue as "complete" and doesn't look like they worked on this in 4 months.

I tried using it on your site and it also didn't work.. (stuck on 80% authentication). I realize this feature is in Beta but it looks like you guys already got further than Mint did - their interface doesn't even ask for right information.

I will sign up my business the second you make this work :)

Why, again, didn't mint just do this?

indinero is SaaS, mint is a consumer lead gen company. similar yet very different companies.

Yeah, I understand that.

I meant, why hasn't mint expanded to SaaS for small businesses. It's a hugely under served market and they have a product that (seemingly) easily maps. Especially since they were bought by intuit.

All that being said I will likely end up using indinero. I've been waiting for this sort of functionality to show up somewhere. I think all of us business owners can agree quickbooks, excel, etc are all painful and antiquated.

My current solution is mint/tags + python script. And I much prefer it to previous experiences with quickbooks or excel.

Hm, it looks like the transactions aren't being linked to a sub-account.

I have 8 accounts with Bank of America, marked 1/2 as disabled, but the transactions from the disabled accounts still show up in my register. Even if I try to filter them out, it still shows all of them.

Hey Alex,

We're on this. Would love to have you + 15 other people switch to us :)

Figuring out which banks we don't support (that people need us to support) is a pretty big challenge. We've already gotten requests to support canadian banks and even swiss banks.

Congrats on your launch :-)

I have a business that has grown from 0 to 500,000 pageviews / month in a little under 6 months. I haven't spent much money but my income is starting to be more significant.

I use two separate bank accounts that are personal accounts for my ad revenue deposits, and I use personal credit cards to pay for things. I understand the need, eventually, to incorporate and get separate accounts, but right now I don't have that.

So is inDinero useless to me? Should I use QuickBooks instead, as it allows for much more flexibility and manual transaction entry?
