This iPhone app from Mint.com is a complete financial assistant, providing help on everything from bank account management to tracking investments.

Keeping track of checking and savings accounts, investments, loans, car and mortgage payments, and everything in between can be time consuming, not to mention frustrating. The ideal solution is to consolidate all financial information in one place for easy access, which can be a huge task in and of itself.

Creating an account with Mint is simple, quick, and safe, and now with the Mint iPhone app, anyone can monitor their entire budget easily from their iPhone.

Free Account to Consolidate All Finances

To begin, users need to sign up for a free account at Mint.com. In just five minutes, a new member can add all of their accounts, including bank, credit card, home loan, and investments. This is the only data entry Mint requires to function.

Mint will automatically find and display all balances and purchases, providing a full-scope view of the user's budget. The website offers countless ways for the user to examine his budget, and offers valuable tips on investing, paying off student loans, saving for retirement, and paying taxes.

Mint accounts are anonymous; membership does not require name, address, social security numbers, or PINs.

Use iPhone to Manage Budgets

The Mint app, a free application from the iTunes app store, allows the user to manage all accounts on the go. Upon downloading the app, all the user's Mint account information is automatically synchronized with the iPhone. Users can set alerts for balances with the app, helping to avoid overdraft fees and other annoying charges.

If the user loses his iPhone, his account information will remain secure and safe. Deactivating the Mint app can be done on Mint.com with just one click, helping to prevent identity theft.
