I have a fully working setup. In order to be useful for my personal budget management though I need some program to scan receipts and invoices via camera or pdf, to be honest.

Nonetheless. I am from germany and I successfully integrated sync with multiple bank accounts via aquafinance. I can pull down and automatically categorize transactions and even issue transfers.

There are more reasons i did not fully commit yet:

I have no automatic backup configured. I do not have an designated desktop-pc yet. Having all this important data on a mobile device is insecure imo. I have no _real_ usecase to apply double-checked accounting (hopefully this is the correct term).

Nonetheless, it's great. If one had a tax-guy I guess it is even more beneficial.

I want to note that there are no licenses fees or paid software in use.
What is aquafinance? Can you say which banks work for you?
Sorry for the late reply. I missspelled the library. Probably there is also a missunderstanding due to "lost in translation".

I integrated all my accounts of Kreissparkasse and DKB. Works flawlessly. I also tried all alternatives to connect to these institutions. I wouls recommed this setup.
