Bank Account Aggregators

Hi
It's been a few years since I last used a bank account aggregator to help me see how I'd been spending my money.
I used money dashboard and yolt.
Neither of those exist now, and I can't find any alternatives. What happened? And are there any open banking alternatives which can help summarise my spending? Everything looks like an investment tool of some sort now.
Many thanks

    I've just joined the MSE Forum to specifically ask this question! I miss Money Dashboard and can't seem to find a new alternative. Can anyone help?

    The only reliable and flexible tools I am aware of are the tried and tested MS Money and AceMoney. Nothing fancy about them, and no automatic updating from UK accounts, giving you a decent, stable means of staying on top of what to currently have, and what you expect to have in future, and where your funds are. No limits to how many, and what kind of, accounts you want to monitor. There is nothing flashy about them, they are just solid, more sophisticated spreadsheets.

    You can find some flashier, and in parts more functional, new-ish apps but they all fall down on the types and numbers of accounts they can monitor. It's not always their fault - more often than not they cannot access a given account as the provider does not provide the API the aggregator needs. Emma, Moneyhub, Money Dashboard are probably the best known and may or may not still be available, and may or may not be sufficiently functional for your needs. They aren't for me.

    I use Snoop and am very happy with it. It even retains bank transaction history after an account has been closed.

    It has all the main banks for current accounts and credit cards but not all savings accounts. It doesn’t have savings banks such as Zopa or Ford Money though.

    it used to have web access but sadly that was discontinued. I don’t know when but I’m sure I used that last year. That said, the app is excellent although I only use it for daily balance aggregation and checking the odd transaction.

    Oh, and the free version does everything I want!

    Many thanks for the recommendation. I've used Snoop for exactly what I needed.
    It's not the best designed app, nor with the best features, but it does the job.

    @normal

    Glad to hear it works for you. I always click on the 6 dots at the top right of the home screen (just left of the pen icon). I then see 12 account icon block as opposed to the 3.5 in a line on the default view.
