Is Vanguard compatible with Mint.com?

Anyone upgrading to Mint.com?

Yes. Mint pulls my vanguard IRA information perfectly. In addition, if you have read-access to anyone else's account (e.g. family member) via vanguard it will pull that information as well automatically.

Perfect. Thanks I figured it out.

Do you use Mint.com exclusively as a replacement for Quicken?

I never used quicken, I started directly with mint. I added custom categories to fit my personal budget, which is the most important aspect of it for me. I also manually input cash transactions to fit them within my budget.

Mint.com is my go-to program for budget management. I love it!

I use mint.com but I'm not crazy about the investments part of the application. It will reliably give you the market value correctly but has never calculated asset allocation correctly or performance correctly. I use it and I like it but beware of the statistics it gives regarding investments.

Here is the FAQ on their Security:

Just for another data point, Mint.com has all my Vanguard mutual fund information, but it does not include anything in my brokerage (stock, ETF) account. I'm not sure if that is a bug, just a problem with my account, or by design.

I've been a minter for awhile. I too am not thrilled w the investment side. I do love it for tracking expenses in real time and for budgeting. I've only had one issue re: updating my Vanguard site in the last year or two. Also, I'm impressed w the customer service, especially that it's a free site.

This raises the issue of security and safety of using such a program in the first place.

This is one of the reasons why I started to use portfolio-hub. It allows me to track my investment portfolio without having to submit my login credentials to my accounts.

ING Direct allows things like Mint to access it in read-only mode, using a different password than the one you log in with. All financial institutions should have this functionality, but unfortunately most of them don't yet.

I think you have to add the Vanguard brokerage account separately.

Additionally, sometimes Mint doesn't aggregate a new source of funds within an account if it did not exist at the time Mint was linked to it. Solutions including re-adding Vanguard (whoever) and telling it to ignore the duplicate or to delete the old link (and the history associated with it) and add it as new account.
