Automatic Software Updates

Because online personal finance software does not reside on your computer, you never need to wait for an update to download or install. You are always running the most recent version of your online software because updates are applied on the online software provider's servers, making updates transparent to the you.

Tip: You do not need to know about updates involving bug fixes and improvements that do not affect how you use online personal finance software. Your online software provider should send email to inform you about updates that involve the user interface, reporting, transaction downloads, etc.
