Internet Banking PLus

Anyone know of any other companies or sites other than First Direct that have something like this?

Internet banking plus brings all your online finances, bonus programmes, utility and email accounts together in one place.
With just one username and password, the service 'tracks' information from other accounts into the balance screen format. Gone will be the days of hopping from site to site while trying to remember multiple usernames and passwords.

Egg offer one with a £10 signup bonus I think.

found this slightly out of date article from channel 4 which might be helpful

I did sign up for the moneysupermarketone before I switched to Apple Macs and that was quite useful about telling you how much you could potentially make by switching - but can't seem to find a link now.

Does signing up to these sites not invalidate any protection your bank might offer against fraud? You are, after all, disclosing your login details to a third party, which is usually expressly forbidden in their T&Cs.

All account aggregators currently use ‘client-side’ technology. This means that all your different accounts’ login details are stored on your PC rather than the aggregator’s server (known as ‘server-side’) and was used by Citibank when it offered an account aggregation service. With a client-side aggregator, you’ll have to download a piece of software – a digital safe – on your PC. This then encrypts your passwords and PIN numbers so they are held securely. Going client-side gets round one of the criticisms levelled at the early aggregators who used server-side technology. When first launched, many of the banks claimed that, by entering their passwords and PIN numbers into another site, customers had given away this information and were in breach of their terms and conditions.
