There is so much innovation that can and needs to be done in the online banking space, Mint hasn't innovated in years, so I decided to.

Some of my experiments...

Looks nice, but maybe you could be more specific than "Radically changing how you manage money"

Thanks for the feedback -- I'm going to do some A/B testing with that title text. It's definitely a difficult thing to get right.

There's some bug with the video. When I try to skip through it, it shows me the original Play image, and I have to press on it again.

What does this have to do with Mint? This is yet another coupon site that limits you to only the stores you already shop at.

I suggest using a more appropriate title. It's misleading.

Thanks for discovering that. I'll get it fixed.

I think you would convert a lot more if you used https://budgetable.com. Im not giving someone my account information unless it is encrypted. As a potential customer, lack of that makes me wonder how secure the backend is. Otherwise, looking forward to what you come up with

Do you have a mobile application or a mobile-friendly site?
