Have you looked into the plaid[0] free(test) tier? They hook into a bunch of different banks and the free tier exposes balance and transaction history.

If you have a free Plaid account, you might check out BudgetSheet: https://www.budgetsheet.net

It imports live bank transactions into a Google Sheet for you to use however you want.

I really wish I could find a service that would do this for something other than Google Sheets (or like Tiller using a Google login even though they can write to Microsoft's OneDrive...for some reason). The last place I want to store a bunch of sensitive financial information is Mint. The second last is Google.

To that end, I looked into using Plaid's API to craft my own but it's a bit daunting, especially with a couple of my financial institutions continually failing and having to be reauthenticated, so I don't envy these developers their tasks.

Where else would you want this imported? What other products do you use that you would wank your bank transactions in that you trust?
Their free tier is only 100 "imports". After that, you are looking to pay $500 USD/mo. for unlimited - which simply isn't an option for a free app.
Do you know if they work with EU banks? I'm in France and this looks really interesting...
