IBank 5 adds a number of new features, including support for bill pay through most major U.S. Banks, streamlined one-button updating for connected accounts and device syncing, and support for the subscription transaction tracking service first introduced in last year.

The pairing of iBank 5 for Mac and iBank for iPad 2 now allows for direct syncing of budgets and reminders between the platforms, while a single Direct Access subscription can be shared between the apps. IBank 5 for Mac launches today from the and is priced at $59.99, with a 30-day free trial available for all users. Current users of iBank 4 may upgrade for $29.99 from within iBank 5. A Mac App Store release for iBank 5 is coming but timing has yet to be announced. IGG's optional Direct Access subscription service, which offers seamless automatic transaction updating from thousands of financial institutions worldwide, is available for $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year. Is available from the App Store for $19.99. I've been an iBank customer for 4 years. I never have like this program due to the lousy UI, bugs, and terrible support. They also have no customer loyalty and consistently charge for minor 'revision updates'. IBank 4 came out in September 2010. IBank 5 is now out over three years later and they do offer an upgrade price of $29.99. If you don't care for the app, that is largely a matter of personal taste and I can't argue with that, but I don't think one upgrade charge in more than three years is really out of line. I'd love to use an app like this but I live in the UK which, strangely enough for a global finance centre, is a barren wasteland when it comes to third-party app access to banking accounts. I'd even consider changing banks just to get something like this. I'm writing from iBank's developer, IGG Software, so forgive any evident bias here. But I do wish to point out that, particularly with iBank 5's Direct Access subscription service, many UK banks are supported for automatic updating of transactions.
