Hey all! David an indie dev here, posting my own project. Mods, please remove if not allowed.
I left YNAB for Actual Budget last year and immediately ran into the EU problem: Actual has SimpleFIN for US/Canada accounts, but if you bank in Europe you're stuck importing CSVs by hand. After about the tenth manual export I gave up and built the thing I wanted.
What it is
Bridge Bank is a Docker container that connects to your EU bank via Enable Banking (the regulated PSD2 open-banking provider) and pushes every transaction into your self-hosted Actual Budget instance. You run it next to Actual on the same machine / NAS / Pi. It's read-only — Bridge Bank can't move money, only read transactions.
2,500+ banks across 29 European countries
Bonus: eToro + Binance portfolio tracking, since I needed those too
5-step setup wizard, runs in your browser at localhost:8080
Up to 2 machines per license, lifetime updates
Pricing
€29 one-time. No subscription, no monthly fee. 7-day free trial, no credit card required. Source is on GitHub so you can audit what it does before paying (or just self-build it — I'm not hiding the code).
Why I'm posting here
This sub is the closest thing to my actual users. If you've already moved off YNAB to Actual and you're in the EU, this is probably the missing piece. If you're still on YNAB and the lack of EU bank sync in alternatives is what's keeping you, that's exactly the gap I'm trying to close.

Happy to answer anything — banks I support, how the open-banking flow works, why one-time vs subscription, why I didn't use GoCardless, etc. Feature requests welcome too.
