Hiya, I am looking into a few different services to better manage my finances, among the highest recommended ones there is ActualBudget. Actualbugdet itself is opensource and private, however, to get the most out of this service you may connect it to your bank, via a third party service. Has anyone here actually done this? The service (for EU folks) is called GoCardless. This however, to me is ringing many alarms..
Here is the screenshot showing the message before connecting to my bank..

I assume there is no private alternative that allows you to connect to your bank into AcualBudget or another service, if so please let me know! Managing finances would be so much more convenient if it all was automatically synced into a self-hosted service.
Let me know how you manage your finances :)
I have a friend that uses the Go Cardless for importing data into FireFlyIII for several months now (May at least six) https://docs.firefly-iii.org/... - Happy to put you in touch if you want to talk to them. - I'd actually like to find a UK Credit Union that would support data import for Selfhosted people. I think there would a really good fit. I'm also on day one of using YunoHost to spin up self hosted applications (Today on a VPS tomorrow on my local RaspberryPi ) I might fire up an instance of Actual.
I'd love to know how many people use Actual / Firefly to demonstrate that there would be interest for a Credit Union to look at offering such a service.
