I’ve used filthis.com for years to automatically grab PDFs for credit card bills, mortgage statements, bank statements, and utility bills. It’s taken a lot of the headache out of archiving financial records.
I just heard FileThis is shutting in the next couple of months. Does anyone have service they use for automatically downloading this kind of stuff? I’m open to paid, free, hosted, and self-hosted projects.
None of my mine come as PDF attachments, it’s always “click here to see your statement” which goes through the login process to the company’s portal.
I get it, they think they’re doing it for security. But email is no less secure than paper mail and they send paper statements in regular mail, so why not email?
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosted@lemmy.world

Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
Hmm. Mine come as PDF attachments, so it’s easy to open them, check them, pay them, and save them.
I think a few require logging in, which is a complete pain in the ass, I agree.
But yeah, both paper and e-bill aren’t as convenient as some automated file method. Good luck!

That sucks. I don’t think it’s a security thing, they want you to log into their website because they can track your interactions.
I do hope that you find a solution that meets your needs.
