Business Banking that sends statements by e-mail?

[d000hg]

My accountant is able to access - with some view-only perissions - my HSBC accounts. Is that the same system already mentioned?

Santander send mine through the post - tried and tested method.

Out of interest, what is the automation you are hoping for as mentioned in the OP?

Homebrew parsing of statements into a ledger. I'm a tightarse and I'm a software engineer, so it wrangles with me that I would pay £100 or so a month to someone to use a tool that I should be able to build myself (and besides, a good excuse to practice with new technology).

With HSBC and their vasco token, I can't eliminate myself from the process, hence the question as to how I might get statement data without having to log in or do any downloading myself.

As others have said with Yodlee et all, there's screen scraping going on there, and another license fee too.

Thanks to all for their responses.
