Hello fellow developers,

I am a newbie web developer learning MERN stack. I want to create this Expense Manager application where you can track your expenses and budget your salary. The thing is most when i look for expense manager projects on youtube i find them to be like glorified todo apps. Where you have to manually enter your expenses. What i want is to build an application where one doesn't have to manually enter their expenses. Rather they can link their band accounts and cards and when they make a transaction it will show up in the aforementioned application.

How do i go on about it? I saw one video by Javascript Mastery which tackles this problem but he used Plaid to integrate the banking history. Now Plaid only works for banks in the US, Cananda and some parts of EU. What are the alternative services for Indian banks?

Any help is appreciated here.

Thank you in advance!
