Bills AI vs Mint
The Privacy-First Alternative
After Mint sold your financial data and shut down, it's time for a better approach. Bills AI gives you AI-powered insights without linking your bank account or compromising your privacy.
Why Switch from Mint to Bills AI?

Upload bank statements instead of linking accounts. Your login credentials stay safe. Mint required full bank access and sold your data to advertisers.

Global Support
Works with banks worldwide including Vietnam (VCB, Techcombank, VietinBank). Mint only supported US/Canada banks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Mint shut down?
Intuit shut down Mint in January 2024 to push users toward Credit Karma and QuickBooks Simplify. Many users are now looking for privacy-focused alternatives that don't require bank linking.
How is Bills AI different from Mint?
Bills AI doesn't require bank account linking. You upload bank statements (PDF/images) and our AI analyzes them. This is more secure and private. We also use advanced AI (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini) for better insights than Mint's basic categorization.
Is Bills AI really more private than Mint?
Yes. Mint required your bank login credentials and sold your data to advertisers. Bills AI only sees what you upload, never stores your bank passwords, and doesn't sell your data. You control exactly what we analyze.
Can I import my Mint data to Bills AI?
While we don't have direct Mint import, you can download your transaction history from Mint (CSV) and upload your recent bank statements to Bills AI. Our AI will analyze and categorize everything automatically.
What banks does Bills AI support?
Bills AI works with any bank that provides PDF or image statements. This includes all major US banks, Vietnamese banks (VCB, Techcombank, VietinBank, etc.), and international banks. If you have a statement, we can analyze it.
