Highly creative new tool release from Wesabe. I have always liked the idea of a tray icon/ tool/ widget, to summarise online banking. Wesabe have beaten everyone to the punch.

The Dashboard Widget gives you one-button access to your bank balances and recent transactions. This turns out to be hugely convenient — instead of having to log into all of your bank sites or even to Wesabe to check your balances, you just have to be logged into your Mac.
Unfortunately Mac only .. maybe Windows, and Linux coming …..

Thanks for the mention! We’ll definitely work on tools for other platforms, too.
Hi Colin-
I had a conversation with MS Money recently, and they are offering a widget for the desktop as well for their new release of MS Money Plus. See their reference to “Insights” (http://www.microsoft.com/money/whatisnew.mspx). A bit different than the Wesabe wideget, but it’s the same type of concept.
Thanks Jean … I see promise in widgets more generally, as they can evolve into intelligent agents.
