I've actually been thinking about such an effort because I was sick of Mint being more geared at selling me loans than giving me the tools that others and I have requested, and none of the other services that automatically pull in bank data are much better.

Have you thought of making some sort of framework that can handle security and aggregate the data, and have developers plug in the bank specific bots?

My idea is to keep it simple: just a collection of bots that accept any required credentials and return accounts data in a common JSON format. Storing credentials and aggregated data is not in the scope of this project. If that's needed (not all applications may need it), it has to be handled by the client app.
