Budget software that supports bank account integration (alien.top)

Hi, I'm after a budgeting software where I can login to my bank account using open banking/midata or another service that will live integrate with my bank account. Does that exist? I've checked out Firefly iii, actual, and openbudgeteer but I can't see anywhere that suggests what I want is a feature. Have I missed anything, or is there a software which has this feature that I've missed?

I'm based in the UK if that helps at all.

Do you think your bank provides a free and open API that can be used by such a tool? Unlikely.

It's what open banking or midata is in the UK...

I quickly looked up midata and it seems like a government "standard" so banks can provide your account data as a uniform downloadable format.

But you are asking for "live integration" which is very different.

In the UK, Monzo provides an open REST API, which includes webhook support
