I’m in Canada too and really like http://www.wesabe.com. I love the tracking and tag features. It recognizes purchases I have made before and will tag them automatically. I uploaded everything from 2008. It took me an hour to tag everything and in one hour I could see EXACTLY where my money went for the whole year.

I’ve been using Spending Profile (spendingprofile.com) since September and I was reasonably happy with it, despite several limitations (no tracking multiple accounts, no balance transfers from month to month, no YTD totals on categories). The important thing for me is to know how much money is going out and coming in over the course of a month, as I can easily check the balances of my accounts online whenever I feel like it. My problem was one of cash flow.

However, the service was down for a few days this week and I got nervous that it wasn’t coming back. So I started searching for a replacement and started reading reviews. Mint was the number one recommended site, but I decided against it and others of a similar nature because I just wasn’t comfortable offering up access to my banking information to a third party.

I just started using sMoneybox and I’m finding it more comprehensive than SpendingProfile (though it’s a little more complicated to set up). I can keep track of all my spending, on my terms and anonymously.

Jordan: I worked in SF at the tail end of the dot-com boom, so I got a SIN (and financial accounts) at that time. Truth be told they aren’t used for much (but they let me use services like Mint and Prosper that require a US financial presence).

Whoops I meant to also write that I also tried to try out mint, but with no Canadian support I ditch it. I did however read in their forums they are at least *thinking* of expanding into our market, I believe they have a thread going to post your email and they’ll contact you if things start rolling into beta here.

How’d you manage to get US bank accounts (isn’t a SIN required)? Are you a dual citizen? What are they for (if you don’t mind me asking) just regular banking or were you able to setup investment accounts?
