I used Every Dollar for budgeting for a while. It seemed mixed. Some banks used auth through the bank that would create a token for the site/app, which could be revoked through my account when the bank. Others used a 3rd party service which required the user enter their bank creds, and seemingly trust them.
I was in the market for a new bank, so I ended up coming up with my short list of banks I’d look at moving to, then went to Every Dollar to try adding accounts to see what kind of prompt I was met with. Anything that required the 3rd party to store my creds was out of the running. I ended up ending a 20+ year relationship with a bank of this. There were other things too, but this was the straw that got me to actually cut ties.
I assume Mint was similar. I used it a long time ago, probably when I was more trusting in my youth.
