Abstract

Tracking finances can be extremely difficult and time consuming. Having multiple checking accounts, credit card accounts, and debit card accounts further complicates this task. We must consult each of these sources and perform calculations just to determine how much money we can spend. This process is error prone and often requires much time and energy.

Our solution is to create a system to allow users to view their up-to-date consolidated financial information from anywhere. The system shall provide quick and easy access to the consolidated data of multiple credit and checking accounts. It shall also provide useful financial calculations based on this data. With our Personal Credit Advisor (PCA), users can make informed purchasing decisions easily and instantly!

This system is composed of PDA's, home computers, software, servers, networks, and wireless communication. The system will incorporate the Palm Operating System with network connectivity available. It will contain a simple list of accounts, where the user has options on which account(s) to access.
