I’ve moved the replies here to make the discussion easier for anyone who’s looking for info about this idea to find it. I’m sure there will be a lot more to talk about here in the future too 
That would be good to see, still waiting on Tesco Bank first though! 
I thought you used a third party ( can’t remember their name ) to handle the connection?
Yodlee?
Googled it, I was thinking SaltEdge. There’s a bunch of these sort of companies.
Do you use TrueLayer for Monzo or Starling, or do you go directly when there’s proper APIs and stuff?
I can’t see the vote button but this integration would be awesome. Although I have to remember not to look at investments daily so this wouldn’t necessarily help in that respect.
Hey Andy, voting is only available for topics posted in the #ideas section.
Because integration with third party apps will require cooperation of both Freetrade and (in this example) Emma, it makes the process significantly more complex.
It is also outside of the Freetrade developers’ remit to build this integration because you’d expect your holdings to be shown in Emma, whereas voting is for ideas Freetrade can implement in their own app.
In any case, I do absolutely agree with you that this integration would be great - you could not only see the total sum of all your banks’ balances, but also your Freetrade holdings added to those too 
EMMA’s added a simple way to lobby your favourite investment apps
The Tweet reads
Hey @freetrade, it would be great to see you on @emma_finance! #OpenAPIs https://emma-app.com
As an Emma and new Android Freetrade user, this integration would be great.
Just adding my 2p.
Has there been any progress with FT integration? Emma is an excellent product and is invaluable to my family in managing all of our money 
in one place.
Ps. Emma app not @Rat_au_van.
We don’t have an API yet so we’ve not started work on an integration with Emma. Keep an eye on the roadmap for updates.
+1 for this… Would be great to see
Well I have never seen this before! Thanks @Freetrade_Team1! 
Just signed up to Emma and Wow 
I love it already I am going to be able to sort and categorise my finances to my hearts content! Please get your API sorted for integration soon freetrade!
If anyone wants to give Emma a try you could always use my referral
Genuinely though I’ve been using Emma for about 12 months now and it’s an amazing with an amazing team. Also their GIF game is on point!
Good to see Emma doing well on Product Hunt today, on the day of their launch in 
& 
Yes!
Really hope this works out!
