How it started
History
There have been several releases for the desktop version since its inception. IGG Software Inc. also released iOS versions for the iPhone (2009), the iPad (2012), and Apple Watch. Features differ between the apps; specifically the iPhone version does not support reporting. As of June 2026, version 10 is current.
Macworld compared iBank 2 to Quicken, but "with a decidedly Mac-like interface". iBank 3 was updated for Mac OS X Leopard, with support for Cover Flow, Quick Look, and Core Animation. It also integrates with other Apple Inc. products, such as syncing with an iPhone via MobileMe. iBank 3.4 improved support for Quicken import.
iBank 4 was updated to be compatible with Mac OS X 10.7. Some iBank 4 features included Direct Connect (downloads from online accounts), iPhone sync, MobileMe compatibility, interactive charts, multiple currencies, a budget monitor, check printing, loan and portfolio management, smart accounts, TurboTax exporting, and Quicken importing.
iBank 5 was released on November 19, 2013, adding online billpay, Direct Access and improvements to budgeting. iBank 5 saw the release of six major upgrades to the product through iBank 5.6.4 which included the addition of iBank Cloud Sync. IGG changed the name of its personal finance software line from iBank to Banktivity in 2016; Banktivity 5 was released on January 28, 2016.
Banktivity 6: initial public release on April 25, 2017.
