It is buried on the Intuit site so you have to search for it. Got alot of upsell emails at first from them, but that seems to have tapered off after a couple months.

Just like an online bank statement, but with the ability to add a note to each transaction, so I can note what each transaction was e.g. "food... clothes..etc.". I don't want to input each transaction manually. I just want to be able to add notes. So if this is third party to my bank account, it would mean being able to interface with my bank to download my transaction and bank details. Sounds simple enough eh? I went through all the links suggested in this forum. However, unfortunately, all have at least one major flaw rendering them pointless for me. http://www.MVelopes.com only works in America, does not work for the UK. http://www.ourcashflow.com/ isn't up and running yet, you can't sign up. http://www.clearcheckbook.com can't automatically update accounts by connecting to your bank accounts; you have to manually input every single transaction yourself. https://www.buxfer.com can't automatically update accounts by connecting to your bank accounts; you have to manually input every transaction yourself. http://www.youneedabudget.com isn't a 100% online service, it requires you to download their software. http://www.whatbills.com can't automatically update accounts by connecting to your bank accounts, and is mainly just for paying bills.
