Budgero v1.6.0: EU Bank Sync via Enable Banking

Hi everyone, I'm happy to announce that Budgero now supports syncing with EU banks via Enable Banking.

Enable Banking is free for personal use, and Budgero Cloud doesn't charge extra for bank sync. Self-hosters get the same feature, as always.

This still preserves Budgero's privacy guarantee: our servers never see your plaintext data. The connection to Enable Banking is routed through a blind proxy on our server using the WISP protocol, and you can check out the implementation yourself on GitHub.

For guides on setting up bank sync, see these links:

• US: SimpleFIN setup guide
• EU: Open Banking setup guide

Both the SimpleFIN and Open Banking integrations are in beta, since I don't have access to any US or EU bank accounts to test with. If you run into any issues, please open a GitHub issue or post on Budgero's feedback platform.

Finally, while both integrations are built so that Budgero never reads your plaintext data, those guarantees don't extend to the transaction aggregators themselves. Using SimpleFIN or Enable Banking means you're sharing your financial data with a third party. I know these integrations are convenient and can save time, but I'd urge everyone to weigh the benefits against that before using them.

Happy budgeting!
