Wesabe member,
This is an important message about data you may have stored on
wesabe.com.
Wesabe's Accounts tab and all of our personal finance tools are
shutting down on July 31st, 2010. If you would like to save any
data you have uploaded, you must download it before July 31st.
After July 31st, all financial data and all account credentials
stored on
wesabe.com will be deleted, and all backup copies will
be destroyed. (Wesabe Groups will remain online indefinitely.)
For help downloading your data, please see:
https://www.wesabe.com/help/user-manual/shutdown-data-download For more information about the shutdown, please see this blog
post:
http://blog.wesabe.com/2010/06/30/wesabe-is-discontinuing-its-accounts-tab-as-of-july-31st/ You have several alternatives for using the data you download
from Wesabe.
First, Wesabe will release an open source version of many parts
of our site before July 31st. The open source version is
intended to be run on your own computer and requires a high level
of technical proficiency. For more information about the open
source release, please see this Groups thread:
https://www.wesabe.com/groups/222-wesabe-accounts-shutdown/discussions/5216-wesabe-open-source Several other companies have also posted information about moving
your accounts from Wesabe to their services. Wesabe is not
recommending or endorsing any of these alternatives. Here are
pointers to blog posts with more information from these other
companies:

his blog for people looking for alternatives to Wesabe. He echoes
