Budgeting Apps and Smile

AOGS

I’ve spent a bit of time researching which budgeting app to try. Eventually settled on Money Dashboard, only to discover it doesn’t link to
Smile, where I have my main bank account. I then opted for my second choice of app, Emma - same thing, it doesn’t link to Smile. To save me downloading every single app in attempt to find out, does anyone know if any budgeting apps do link to Smile? Thanks

If those two don't then it's likely none of them will.

The COOP has no obligation to implement Open Banking, and obviously has made a commercial decision not to invest into a dying brand.

@AOGS if interoperability with a budgeting app is a must for you, you can ask smile whether they intend to implement Open Banking, and then ask the Budgeting app provider(s) whether they plan to add smile. This could all take a very long time and might never happen. A much quicker alternative is to switch to a mainstream bank.

You can use the Current Account Switch Service to switch your accounts. Several of them currently have switch incentives - but make sure you don't request the switch before your new account is fully operational (i.e. you have full online and/or app access, a debit card and a PIN, and where offered, telephone banking).

Thanks all!
