For a long time now I have been really wanting Mint.com and their personal finance application to get setup within the UK. Unfortunately Mint was acquired last month by Intuit and it doesnt look like I will be getting Mint in the UK any time soon.
There are a couple sites who are looking to become the Mint of the UK, Kublax and Money Dashboard. Money Dashboard is the newest startup which is in Alpha testing and today they have announced they have secured £1 million in funding. These are from the public and private sector and include Par Syndicate, Money Dashboard’s management team and a number of other individuals.
Money Dashboard’s board is quite heavyweight, made up of some of Scotland’s successful businessmen, including chairman Stuart Sinclair, former CEO of Tesco Personal Finance and GE Capital in the UK and China and David Robinson, founder and former CEO of Bright Grey.
It is good to see that Money Dashboard has entered the market and that they have solid backing behind them. However, I was hoping to see a lot more information on their site, plus their site doesnt seem to portray top level security for some reason. Im really looking forward to seeing how they develop in the future.
