If you want the convenience of the browser, but still keep your financial records in your desktop, you should try Tonido Money (http://www.tonido.com/app/money), It is very simple and at the same time powerful.

http://www.buxfer.com can be used with Australian banks – only problem I have with it is it is very slow, even using ADSL2. I’m hoping that it’s just a one-off problem and will be faster next time I try, but that is the reason I am looking for other solutions.

Odd and not very useful review – “6 Best Browser-based Personal Finance Management Tools for the USA” would be more appropriate. Thought I’d found the holy grail, but turns out none of them are any good for Oz. Agreed Oz banks (and the public in general) seem to be a very long way from such facilities. Amazing, really, considering how much time & hassle they could save, and I’m sure the market is big enough for an Australian version of Mint. Anyone care to have a go!? You’ve got at least one immediate customer!!

@Maybe: To be frank, Australia has yet to master broadband coverage let alone supply us with the latest in online personal finance tools.

Damn shame that on an aussie site you list the best online system (mint), that isn’t available to aussies.

@Mark. Yes, Mint is US specific. I think it will be a long time before Aussie banks will catch up to the point where something like Mint would be possible here.

Hi Mark, is Mint US specific?

I’m australian based and I couldn’t get it to work for me.

I recommend PocketSmith (www.pocketsmith.com), a simple-to-use, intuitive budgeting and cashflow forecasting application that uses a calendar for more natural interaction. Think about the future – not the past – and clearly illustrates the impact of your financial decisions!

Even though this thread is on an Australian site, there is no mention anywhere of compatibility with Australian banks, or even if Australians can sign up, given we don’t have US zip codes.
So far I’ve only tried to sign up to Mint but was immediately knocked back because of my location.

Anybody able to re-do this analysis with some Aussie locality context?

Thanks

Dimetracker sounds awesome, but their website doesn’t work. After some investigation, it says they went offline November 2008. Are they gone for good or is there a similar option out there??
