I only keep my monthly spending budget in current account, and everything else ("savings", pay, rent etc) goes to the savings account. And for this utility I only monitor current account which is directly linked to my cards so works pretty well for me. My bank in ANZ so they have this setup by default.

I just looked into it and it seems that Kiwibank doesn't provide any API access (you can download exports manually thought). ANZ might be a good option then :)
That's why he was saying he runs selenium to scrape it. Basically zero banks provide an API access to non-partnering institutions.
I missed the part about selenium scraping – thanks for pointing that out.

There has just been a project submitted to solve this on HN – https://blog.teller.io/2017/06/12/the-api-for-your-bank-acco...

But it seems to support only a handful of UK banks – no ANZ or Kiwibank.
