Managing your money on a Mac is either easy or painful, depending on your patience, skill, software, and how much money you have.
Intuit’s Quicken reigns as the Mac’s top financial software, though Mac users regularly express disappointment. Enter iBank. Why not? Almost everything good these days has an “i” in front of it.
There is no shortage of money management software for Mac users, though few offer the full range of features found in the popular and much maligned Quicken.
Maligned? Why not? Quicken’s Mac.... (excerpted).

Sure sounds like iBank is a worthy substitute for Quicken. I’m definitely going to look into it. I used Quicken for years on my PC but since I’ve gotten a Mac I thought I would look for something new and improved.

Having used MS Money on my pc for years, recently took the plunge to MAC and was looking for a similar product to MS Money (why oh why dont MS do a version for mac???)
I opted for IBank, and first impressions are good. It would appear to offer the same functionality as MS Money, albeit American based terminology. The main issue i have at the momement is that it does run consideralbly slower than MS Money, and does take time to swop between accounts. That said, the wife is using it fine, so only time will tell.
