 IBank is solid and helpful. January 4, 2010

As a longtime Quicken user (8 years) and MicroSoft Money user (3 years) I was very disappointed when I switched to a Mac Pro last January (2009) and found no version of Money and the only available Quicken was a 2007 (pretty much unsupported and un-updated) product!
I refused to put a Windows OS on my new Mac - that would open the machine up to Windows virus attacks and other problems.
I tried "Crossover" which allowed me to use a Quicken for Windows program but did not require a Window OS. That was ok but it was slow, a bit buggy, and there was no interface with ICal (so no easy alerts).
Then I found IBank!!
Not only did IBank work beautifully with my Leopard and Snow Leopard OS but it put dates and reminders into ICal with no problem. I was very happy that it looked like a true Mac program instead of a Windows program.
Now, after 8 months of using IBank (the last version is 3.5.4) I can tell you honestly -- for my use as a home owner, on-line bill payer, watcher of credit card charges, and user of paperless monthly statements from 2 banks and 2 credit card companies -- I am VERY VERY HAPPY and please with IBank.
I highly recommend IBank! You can use the full program for 30 days before you buy it OR you can buy it and return it for 100% money back if you do not find it to be what you need.
Amazon offers a $20 credit for people who switch to IBank from Quicken -- making the program cost $39.95 instead of $59.95! What is not to like about that?
I have used IBank's customer service two different times and found them to be knowledgeable, efficient, and very helpful. They answered both questions in my first contact.
Quicken is coming out with a Mac Financial software in February- finally. It appears to be sort of a Quicken for Mac 2010. I will not buy it or try it!!
Why?
I resent Intuit's attitude that Mac owners don't deserve an up-to-date program for 3 years. I don't want to support that kind of treatment to a long-time customer. Also Intuit's new program seems to be a limited version of their Quicken for Windows programs. I strongly suggest you check out Inuit's Q & A about the February 2010 Mac program at quicken.com. I doubt you will want a "fluff" but little "meat" Quicken on your Mac.
IBank has had 2 updates (free to version 3 owners) within my 8 months of owning the program. Each update came with a new complete program download and all information from my previous IBank version was transferred with no problems.
The IBank program does not allow "direct bill pay" like the old Quicken I was accustomed to. However -- many banks no longer allow that service any longer either. Both of my checking account banks (Citizens and TD Bank) do not allow direct bill pay through third party financial software any longer so I did not really suffer a loss by switching to IBank. That may be a "security" protection improvement?
IBank imports Quicken data from Windows and Mac with no problems. Set up is easy for connecting and using most bank web sites.
I used Turbo Tax for Mac (both platforms are on most versions of TTax and TaxCut CDs) last year. I do not import information from Quicken or IBank into TTax - oI do import the personal information from previous TurboTax for Windows programs. I cannot say anything about importing data from IBank.
I think IBank does have a lot to offer and unless you have a business or are very wealthy -- IBank should do the job for you WITH all the dependable and helpful MAC features (and connections to ICal) that you expect from your Mac.
There are some very low ratings of IBank listed in these reviews! I do not understand why.
I know that I have not had any of the problems addressed in the poor reviews.
If you have an Intel Mac or MacBook -- I do not think there will be a problem that IBank's free customer service could not fix. However, if there is no "fix" for a problem you may experience with IBank -- you lose nothing! Just take advantage of IBank's free trial money back guarantee!!
I do not have any connection with Intuit or IBank. I spent my time writing this review because I truly think IBank is a GREAT alternative to Quicken for any new Mac owner!!!
Solid Mac app done right November 15, 2007

I really appreciate the attention to detail Igg Software has put into this product. After long months of cursing and struggling with the heaping pile of Java widgets that is Quicken on the Mac, I finally set out across the intarwebs determined to find SOME kind of alternative. I finally found iBank, and man, the difference was like night and day. iBank is actually designed to be--gasp--a Mac program. It has proper search integration, behaves as you expect a Mac program to behave, is stable, imports and exports quickly and easily, and is designed with care.
The product has room to grow--reports are currently limited to a single kind, and I think there might be a few high-end features of that other program that haven't found their way into this program, but if there are I haven't noticed yet, as I'm too busy doing what I want to do and not cursing at my computer any more.
Definitely recommend.
Awesome Mac Finance Application October 22, 2009

I've been a Quicken user since it first came out for the Macintosh and upgraded to the latest revision as time went on. There were always frustrations with the product: Data entry was not as easy as I'd like it to be, I didn't have control over various aspects of the application that I would like to, etc. Lately, I switched to Snow Leopard and Quicken seemed to slow down and exhibit some errors in execution.
I recently learned of iBank (version 3.5).
The process for conversion from Quicken 2007 on Macintosh was very simple. I downloaded as many transactions as possible and reconciled/cleared them. (Be sure to save often in Quicken...crashing totally corrupts the data file.) Then from the File menu I chose File-Export-To QIF. Quicken exported all my accounts, categories, and transactions to one file that iBank was able to import. iBank recreated everything automatically.
Then I just needed to connect each account to download transactions automatically from my bank. My primary accounts are with US Bank. The support person at US Bank said that they only support Quicken and Microsoft Money. I was able to give them a hypothetical situation: What if I was using Quicken? What would me name and password be? I needed to know that my user name was my SS# and the password was my cash card PIN. (This may vary by bank.) With that information, iBank was able to connect immediately with no problems. It even allowed me to enter the starting date from which I wanted to import transactions. I even connected my Discover cards, Amex Costco card, and Visa cards to auto download transactions. They all support Open Financial Exchange (OFX).
I highly recommend this product to Macintosh users. Unlike Quicken for Mac, It's a real Macintosh application that is supported and updated on a regular basis. It's easy to use and performs everything I needed a finance application to do. I'm so glad to be rid of Quicken. They even have a $[...] for former Quicken users.

I have been using ibank for two years. I love that it is useful, user friendly, and it has helped me get out of debt. I have managed credit card debt, tracked a bank loan regularly, and I keep track of all my banking transactions. I would highly recommend ibank to any mac user for home financial management.
Best Finacial App for Mac out there. Awesome Customer Service!!! November 14, 2008

So as many of your probably have I switched from PC to MAC and quickly found that there is close to a famine of good financial apps available. Quicken for MAC is a lame attempt to appease a growing population of PC deserters. I had been using parallels and running MS Money inside XP but that was growing tiresome. Couldn't SOMEONE make a good money program for mac?
Enter iBank.
iBank is a wonderful, powerful, and easy to use, financial application. And there are plenty of reasons why as well as a free demo. All these are exactly what I was looking for but what I wasn't expecting was fantastic customer support. iBank is made by a company known as IGG Software and they are incredibly helpful, fast, and responsive. iBank is the best software out there for MAC and the fantastic customer support makes this decision a no brainer.
