Enhanced Internet banking using tags April 3rd, 2008
This is a cross post from my personal blog. The idea isn’t so much to use social tagging but more to apply tagging technology in a very pragmatic and useful way.
Here is a thought for the likes of Standard Bank and FNB (the two banks I use at the moment): add tagging functionality to your Internet banking services to improve their usefulness.
My thinking is that it would be great to have the ability to add descriptive tags to line items in my bank statements/transaction listings. My bookkeeper often has to check with me what various transactions are for and it would be really handy to be able to go in and tag various line items with references or even add descriptions to items.
Just a thought …

Check out http://www.buxfer.com you can import your statements from the bank into this and then tag your line items. Unfortunately it’s not seamless with SA banks so the export/import is a bit of a mission, but very cool nonetheless.
you can even twitter message it to add expenses etc.
