Mint.com, the slick and extremely useful financial tracking website, also has iOS and OS X apps to natively keep an eye on your finances. The Mac app came out in early July of this year, and was. The app also offers the spending tracking like Mint does (to help you budget), and allows you to quickly see balances, recurring charges, and charges flagged by others in the app-user community. Mint is versatile enough to help anyone’s money make sense without much effort. There’s no wrong way to use it, and nothing to lose getting started. You’ll be surprised how life-changing something so simple can be. We will be discontinuing support and development for QuickView, the Mint Mac OS desktop app. We’ve promised to hold ourselves to the highest standard of quality in our products, and strongly believe that shifting our efforts to the Mint Web, iOS and Android applications will help us. Mint QuickView is a companion app to Mint.com that gives you an up-to-date snapshot of your finances-right on your Macintosh desktop. It's easier than ever to see where your money is going. Jan 09, 2015  Mint QuickView is easy to install from Apple's App Store and syncs up with your Mint.com account. You then get a green leaf at the top of your toolbar that's always running in the background. The app will alert you via badge notifications of changes to your finances.

Mint supports my bank but I can't add it. What should I do?

First, ensure you are using the same login credentials you use when accessing your account on your bank's website. If you are, and your bank problems persist, please submit the information below via our Contact Mint form.

1. The name of the bank.
2. The URL you use to login to the bank--for example, www.chase.com.
3. The specific error messages you receive when trying to add the account to your Mint account.
4. Information about extra security requirements your bank requires to login, such as image verification, additional security questions, incorrect forms, etc.
5. Can you successfully log in to your bank directly?

Note: Currently, Mint.com only supports banks in the United States and Canada.

I'm having problems with the security challenge when adding my account.

Below are a few tips that may help:

1. Be sure to answer the same number of questions on Mint as you answered on your bank's website.
2. For some banks, the questions and answers need to be in the exact same order as they are listed on your bank's website.
3. If you've forgotten the questions you set up on the bank's website, you should try to confirm by visiting bank's website, or calling their online banking support to retrieve them.
4. Answers to these questions may be case-sensitive. i.e. 'Dog' will work, while 'dog' will not.

Note: The number of questions you need to answer on Mint may be less than the number of form fields displayed on the page. If none of these tips help, please submit details to us via our Contact Mint form.

I'm being told my login credentials are not correct but I am sure they are.

If you are certain you are using the correct username and password but it doesn't seem to work on Mint, it might help to change your password on your bank's website and then re-enter it on Mint. It may help to use the minimum character limit allowed by your bank, just in case a character limit issue is coming into play. Once you've done this, come back to Mint and click Fix it then Edit details to re-enter your login credentials.

I can't find my bank, credit card or financial institution.

Below are some tips that may help:

1. Try searching for the URL instead of the name. For example, you can find Compass Bank by searching for 'compassweb.com'.
2. Instead of searching for the generic term 'Visa', search for the issuer listed on the back of the card (e.g. 'Chase', 'MBNA', 'Bank of America').
3. If neither of the tips above help, we simply may not support your bank. In this case, please see the steps to take under the FAQ entitled What can I do if Mint.com does not support my bank?

I can't find my bank, credit card or financial institution.

When you can't find your bank listed in search results in the add account process, you will see a link that says tell us about it. Please complete this form, and we'll submit a request to our data provider requesting that they add support for your bank.

Please note that due to factors outside our control, including approval from the banks themselves, we cannot guarantee that your bank will be supported, but we will do our best. You can check back periodically to see if support for your bank has been added.

1. Login to your Mint.com account.
2. Click the Profile link at the top of the page.

How do I add a new account for a bank I already added to Mint?

If you've recently opened a new bank account and it's not yet appearing in Mint, it should appear soon. Mint automatically detects and adds new accounts during the automatic refresh of your account data (this is the process that refreshes your account without you signing into Mint to update). If other accounts with the same bank get updated and you still don't see the new account, please submit details to us via our Contact Mint form.

No. At this time you can only use Mint if you have access to your bank accounts online.

Can I import more transactions into my account to get a more comprehensive overview of my personal finances?

Unfortunately there is no way to import transactions at this time. The amount of transaction data that is brought in when you create your account is dependent on the bank and can range from 30 to 90 days.

Can I upload my transaction history from another personal finance program, such as Quicken?

No, unfortunately this cannot be done at this time.

Any transactions that appear in gray italics are transactions that are showing as pending on your bank's website and should go away once they clear.

Please note that if you edit a transaction while it's pending, it can interfere with our reconciliation process and may need to be manually deleted once the cleared transaction posts.

Why does my budget for a particular category show that I am grossly over budget, but, when I click on the link for that category, it shows this month's transactions are much less?

This can happen when the budget for a particular category is set to roll over. If this is the case, then the balance that you over-spent from a previous month will get applied to the current month. You can check to see if this is the case by clicking on edit details for that category, then checking to see if the Make this budget roll over option is selected.

Creating Goals is easy. With our Goals feature, you can set up and track your progress towards goals like getting out of debt, saving for vacation or retirement, or buying a house. You can create a Goal by following the steps below:

1. Login to your account and click on the Goals tab.
2. Click the icon for the type of goal you'd like to create.
3. Follow the step by step instructions.

Learn more here.

Note: The Goals feature is not yet available in Canada.

You can delete a Goal by following the steps below:

1. Login to your account and click on the Goals tab.
2. Click on the goal you've created that you wish to delete.

You can edit a Goal by following the steps below:

1. Login to your account and click on the Goals tab.
2. Click on the goal you've created that you wish to edit.
3. Once you do that, you should see a box in the upper right-hand corner that says edit this goal.

No, not at this time. The way we track your progress toward a goal is by matching payments to a specific account.

A budget is a projected sum of spending within a certain category and time range (in Mint, the calendar month). Mint displays your spending in each category (for example, spending on Groceries) along with the projected amount you set to show you if you are on track in that category. Budgets are useful for setting monthly spending goals (like reducing spending on shopping), monitoring your progress, and maintaining a healthy cash flow picture---so you can consistently have enough money to pay your bills, save for the future, and spend on things you need.

While you are able to view the all-time sum of all budgets by clicking the All-Time tab at the top right of the main Budgets tab, you are currently not able to view individual monthly budgets before one year ago.

The Everything Else budget will include all spending not associated with a budget category that you have set up.

Mint organizes all your bills for you, so you can see them in once place. We'll even send bill reminders to your mobile phone or email to help you stay on top of payments and avoid late fees.

Follow the steps below to edit a bill reminder that's already been created:

1. Click the gear symbol next to Upcoming Bill and choose Change your Reminders.
2. On the Your Bill Reminders pop up page, click the orange button that says Add Reminder.
3. In the Add Reminder field, put the name of the bill that you would like to add then press Enter on your keyboard.
4. Put the value on the amount field, next to the bill name and choose the occurrence of the bill.
5. Click on Set Reminder button
6. Click on Close button to save your reminder.

How many transactions will Mint pull in when I add a bank account?

Mint is a free personal finance tool that lets you see your working budget at a glance.

In an increasingly online world, Mint’s technology is hailed for its easy-to-use programs and simple-but-informative graphics of an individual’s financial picture. The money management features help consumers pay their bills on time, save for big-ticket items, and monitor their credit scores in one stop.

Using Mint is simple and straightforward. Like many apps and programs, Mint initially requires extra steps signing on and connecting your accounts. Syncing accounts like checking, credit cards, and bills are key because this is how Mint works—by curating your finances and providing an overall picture at a glance.

Linking Your Accounts

Start by using your email to register on its website or on the app and create a password. Then follow the prompts to sync your accounts. You’ll see Mint already has connections with most banks and provides a dropdown search feature for them.

Mint also tracks the performance of investments and sends alerts on any suspicious activity.

You can connect your mortgages, credit cards, PayPal, and as many bank accounts as you’d like, among other accounts. Mint protects its users' account information with security features that are on par with those of a bank.

When you have all of your accounts connected, Mint will provide you an overview of your finances. The next step is to develop a budget. Based on your finances, Mint will offer a proposed budget for you, but you can adjust that. You can increase or decrease a budget item like “Auto & Transport: Gas & Fuel.”

Key Takeaways

• Mint.com is an online personal finance tool that allows you to track your spending and helps you make a budget.
• Mint is a free service.
• If you want to use Mint, you must sync all of your financial accounts, or at least the ones you want to utilize via Mint.
• Mint allows you to track your spending and your credit score, and you can sign-up to receive notifications on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

How to Create a Budget Using Mint

You can use Mint to view your spending trends and monitor progress on your budget. Over time, you can analyze your money habits and identify ways to improve your finances. Here are three ways to use Mint to help you stay on track with your budget and credit.

Purchase Categories

Does Mint Have Mac Applications

While Mint’s simplicity has drawn over 20 million users, according to its website, it also has more advanced features. Among its many tricks, Mint allows users to divide up purchases into multiple categories for a more accurate financial portrait. (See also: New Help for the Millennial Money Dilemma.)

Splitting Up Transactions

Does Mint Have An App

For example, consumers buying multiple products at Target may want to split their transactions into different categories like “home improvement” and “groceries.” To divide your purchases, click on 'edit details' and then the “split transaction” button on the right side. Enter the amount you want in each category for a more accurate snapshot of your finances.

Does Mint Have A Mac App

Entering your transactions manually allows users to track their cash spend. For this trick, make sure the drop-down menu says “cash” and Mint will automatically deduct the amount from your last ATM withdrawal so it is not deducted from your cash balance twice.

Customize Notifications

Mint users can customize an array of notifications to meet their needs. You can set daily, weekly, or monthly notices when you go over budget when your credit score changes or when you incur an unusual amount of fees. You can also set the notices so they send to another person as well, such as a spouse.

Aside from categories, a tags feature allows users to see their finances organized in another way. For example, you can layer another label like “fixed expenses” onto the categories to see what percentage you are allotting to fixed expenses like monthly bills.

The Bottom Line

Mint provides multiple ways for you to create and manage a budget. It’s noted for its simplicity and informative overview of your finances, and it is free to try. (See also: How Mint Makes Money.)
