Comments on “Spendee 2.0
Lukas Stibor@lukasstibor · CEO,CLEEVIO
We launched our app Spendee almost 2 years ago. We didn't expect that the app will be so popular and after the first months Spendee was being used by over 100 000 people. Over 13 months ago we began to work on Spendee 2.0 where we had great challenges to move Spendee from a simple financial app to an advanced application for not only yours but also your fami… See more

@lukasstibor So can we not sync our bank accounts? Everything has to be entered manually?
Lukas Stibor@lukasstibor · CEO,CLEEVIO
@henkholveck that's correct. We're working on sync with bank right now but it's really complicated.

@lukasstibor what aspect is the most challenging? security, data normalization,...?
John Gianakopoulos@johnggee · Product Manager
@lukasstibor Why would you not integrate with Yodlee or Plaid to take care of aggregating the bank transactions?
Andrzej Bakonski@andrzejb200sx · Stuff
@lukasstibor bank's don't have public APIs. You are wasting your time or your dev team is bending the truth. Unless of course you are building scrapers for banks (like Yodlee does) to get this data? Speak to Yodlee.com - they have APIs in place for you to connect to. I believe Intuit also offers a similar service.
Lukas Stibor@lukasstibor · CEO,CLEEVIO
@johnggee I don't know these services. Do you have any experience with them?
Lukas Stibor@lukasstibor · CEO,CLEEVIO
@andrzejb200sx Thanks for the tips we will try it.
John Gianakopoulos@johnggee · Product Manager
@lukasstibor I've never used them directly, but I've worked with Intuit's aggregation service (it's very similar) and they have direct integration with most of the large financial institutions in the US. However, if you all are based in Prague and most of your users are there, I'm not sure what the coverage rate would be. Something to consider nonetheless.
