Egg Card & Egg Money Manager

Moomum

If you are only staying for the money manager (which I agree is fab) then just cancel the cred card and open a savings acocunt with them, thats what I did!

If you want an account aggrigator, which isn't tied to the foibles of Egg's intermittant web site, try AccountUnity - they use the same software. (In fact I'm under the impression that Egg bought/hired the software off eWise) In addition AccountUnity allow you to have a protable password safe so you can carry it around on a USB pen instead of typing the details into every computer you're likely to use it on. (Or, indeed, remove it from your computer if others use it.)

Edit: Last time this was discussed http://corporate.yodlee.com/moneycenter/index_postlaunch.html was also mentioned as another aggrigator but I haven't used this one.

7.2 We will charge:
£2 for any payment made to the Account other than by Direct Debit, debit card, BACS, CHAPS or transfer from an Egg Savings Account;

I have been accepted for an egg money credit card, in which I intend to pay off each month with internet banking. Does the above mean I will have to pay £2 for each payment I make if I set it up as a standing order to pay of different amounts each month?

You will not be charged anything. £2 for any payment made to the Account OTHER than by Direct Debit, debit card, BACS, CHAPS or transfer from an Egg Savings Account. Internet banking is a BACS payment.

I would only reduce the limit by £10k at the most.

Thanks for telling me about AccountUnity -- I'm now using it instead of Egg's a/c aggregator, and will just cancel the Egg card outright.

I find it is much more reliable that the Egg Money Manager site. Don't you?

Hmmm. Had a look at the above but it only works with Internet Explorer and not Firefox it seems, nor with Safari on a Mac. Having said that, fd Internet Banking Plus doesn't work with a Mac either, nor Firefox - *tut*.

Why isn't there more support out there by the banks, etc for Firefox and other browsers?

It's one of the mysteries of the universe.

If you challenge this policy, you get a half-baked answer along the lines:
