This company is used by over 6 million people and is safe and secure. All you have to do is open an account, enter your information, and Mint.com automatically categorizes everything. Not only that, but it alerts you by email or your cell phone when a bill is due. It also shows you money saving opportunities by letting you know where you where you can cut back on spending in order to save money. It tells you which banks offer free checking and ATM fees, and advises you of better investment options.

With the use of graphs and charts it's easy to see where you can save money. Track your spending and your income, and see your account balances all at one glance. The nice thing about Mint.com is that it shows you comparisons on your month to month spending, and even compares spending and savings from one year to the next. Mint.com can help you reach financial goals, helps you save money, and shows you credit card companies that offer lower interest rates. It also shows you investments and savings accounts that offer higher interest rates than the ones you currently use.

Mint.com shows you hidden fees in your investment accounts. Whether your investments are in a 401K, an IRA or mutual funds, it will give you the opportunity to save money on fees that you didn't even know were there! All of this at no cost to you! Mint.com doesn't make a cent from you. Banks pay them if you change to a bank that they suggest. If you should change to a credit card company that Mint.com suggests because it offers lower interest rates, Mint.com earns their fee from the credit card company. All of this is available at no cost to the user! They track your spending and show you your balances. They show you where you can save money, and alert you when a bill is due. They show you banks and credit card companies that can help you save money, and even offer a list of mortgage companies to use for refinancing your home.

They use Verisign and TRUSTe, the exact same security system used by many banks and credit card companies.

They are safe and secure, and very convenient, offering you the ability to access your account from anywhere.
