Personal Finance uses the services of a third party service provider to collect and distribute data from third party data sources to assemble a picture of your finances for a better understanding of your net worth. PF also offers spending analysis and personalized alerts. While there are third parties who offer similar solutions, having a PF integrated with online banking minimizes the security risk of using it because it’s already integrated with an existing online account that you maintain with ARB!
