Mint.com and similar web services use a very labor intensive process for scraping bank web pages to gather financial information. They either charge a fee to the user, as Mvelopes.com does, or get paid by different financial services for pushing customers to them. If MoneyWell were to use a service like the back end of these, we would have to charge a monthly fee to recoup our costs. I'm not sure if I want us to get into the monthly fee business but I have investigated this and will continue to look at the costs involved.
