Big Banks vs Banker Bot

Business Insider:  
Wall Street banks have had enough of personal-finance apps scraping their data.
The Wall Street Journal's Robin Sidel reports that Mint.com's personal-finance app has been "throttled" or that the data being shared with the app is being restricted.
These apps give users a way to put all their financial data in one place — drawing information from accounts at multiple firms
