Re: Show HN: Connect your bank account to Google Sheets
#2Hey everyone, I made this tool as a hobby project, I would love to hear your thoughts. The tool allows connecting personal and business accounts from over 1,000 banks in Europe. It uses Nordigen’s free open banking API. For full disclosure, I am one of the founders of Nordigen.

#3The Nordigen website says 31 countries, but does not list them anywhere.
Is this information, or a list of banks available anywhere?
I'd rather know if this might work for me before spending time on it.

Seems to be listed here: https://airtable.com/shrX4uBtNLnsPxSih/tblyRj2FTQoXq9Qmu
Only EEA countries I guess. Is anyone aware of something similar for US banks?

#5So this tool helps me share my transaction history with something called Nordigen and... Google? Is this a joke?

#6In case people are unaware Excel supports this natively – https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2020/06/1...

You can kind of hack together something like this with Plaid

#9haha, sure, because google needs more of your data, and whatever this nordigen thing is... laughable
from this nordigen's information handling section in TOS
> 2.3. As the Services also allow User to upload Information and/or obtain Account Information and personal data therein, User further acknowledges and agrees that by uploading or entering any Information for the Services and by using the Services, User grants Nordigen permission to make anonymized data based on personal and non-personal data collected from User or through User's use of the Services, and combine such anonymized data with that of other Users in order to make anonymized aggregate data. Nordigen may use the anonymized data and anonymized aggregate data for various business purposes and legitimate interests of Nordigen, including but not limited to improving the Services, developing and improving other Nordigen products and services, and distributing or licensing such data to third parties with whom Nordigen has a business relationship.
Every time the word "anonymized" is mentioned here you have to understand that everything in software is at risk of bugs or mistakes. But even if, they'll definitely sell your data.

#10I have been toying with this idea and my solution is to use email.
Everytime I made purchase my bank (BankOfAmerica) send me an email, I parse that email and write data to a google sheet.
It's great because I don't need to give credential to service like Plaid.
I used webhook of service like https://hanami.run and configure my bank to send email notification to name@domain.com (my own domain). Hook it up with hanami.run webhook (or any email to webhook service) and voila, now you can parse the email body and do whatever you want with it, in real time. Bank sends email pretty quick.
