    Call me extra suspicious but hovering over your links suggests the same webpage. Googled abp....nothing. I'm curious but too suspicious to look. How can you reassure me and the likes?


    edit: Googled jabplite though and it came up.

    The addresses look simlar because they're developed by the same author and distributed through the same site. I've been using abp on different devices for almost a decade; here's a review from back in the day (1999) http://www.epoczone.com/reviews/show_review.php3?id=3

    The mint.com site looks quite good but unfortunately it is US only at the moment but I think they have plans to bring it to other countries.
  • The individual banks know that you have used an aggregator to log in as the speed at which the log in process is undertaken is, obviously, recorded/audited. Notwithstanding the fact that the servers will also record the fact that the site it was directed from was an aggregator. The log in processes record the time taken between key strokes, the time taken to move from one log in process to another, e.g. smile requires the sort code and account number - key strokes and mouse click/Tab key then the click of 'enter' and the selection of a drop down list and thereafter the typing of a password - the time taken to enter all this information is much longer than the aggregator logging you into the smile site which is done in single digit seconds. Even the fastest typer might have trouble doing it as fast. Not suggesting for one minute that the banks actively monitor this, but it might be something they could refer to if you were the victim of fraud and enquiries revealed that you had used an aggregator?
