Root - Programmable bank account for software developers

Great idea! Would love to get our hands on the Sandbox to test out some internal ideas we have @getalbert

Oooh ... reject purchases at Amazon after I've hit my monthly budget :)

.@louwhopley this is interesting, program it for yourself, good job.

will there be a payment gateway which I can connect to my e-commerce platform or can use as invoicing tool in my business and the payment will be directly added to my root account ?

As neat as it sounds, programmers are a small market. Can you create an IFTTT interface maybe? You could try and replicate their approach in a more secure manner but it's probably a lot of work to reimplement.

This is excellent! I've been searching for something like this for a while!! Currently, I use Buxfer.com (a mint alternative) and hook up to their API to do all my "bank-ops". But the problem with that is that they don't actually allow the transference of money from one account to the other. I currently just have an email sent to me when a transference should take place and I log in to each bank and do it manually. I'm 'rooting' for you guys! Possible to do anything to "skip" the line?

Any plans to bring this to Canada?

Thumbs up for Erlich Bachman :D

Fantastic idea! :) Any releases dates? Thanks

This is a great idea! Technically and securewise it's not so straightforward but idea is really great. I would like to have such a card.
