San Francisco-based Mint provides a free one-stop shop that enables people to manage online accounts held at a number of institutions. Users register anonymously using a valid e-mail address and are connected to online bank, credit union and credit card accounts. Mint then downloads transaction data from financial services firms so that users never need to import or synch data.

Mint applies patent-pending technology and proprietary algorithms to compile and categorise transactions, providing a unified view of all account activity and giving users personalised suggestions for savings opportunities.

Mint says it has signed 50,000 users, organised over $1 billion in user transactions, and identified nearly $40 million in savings opportunities since launching its public beta on September 18. The firm downloads data from more than 3500 banks, credit unions and credit card providers on a daily basis.

The company has also expanded its senior management team with the appointment of Donna Wells as chief marketing officer and Aaron Forth as vice president of product.

Forth was previously director of advertising, product and infrastructure at eBay.

Earlier this year Wesabe, a California-based firm offering a similar service, raised $4 million in its series a funding round.
