IGG Software today announced it has completed testing of iBank 4 for compatibility with OS X Lion, the forthcoming version of OS X for the Mac. With the release of iBank 4.2.4, now available for download from IGG’s website and the Mac App Store, iBank has been declared Lion-ready. In contrast, Quicken 2007 For Mac will not run in Lion at all.
“iBank 4 is the most full-featured finance manager available for the Mac,” says the application’s developer, IGG president Ian Gillespie, in the press release. “Mac users forced to give up older versions of Quicken when they upgrade to Lion will be pleased to find that iBank is a powerful, dependable alternative.”

iBank 4 was released in September 2010 to widespread acclaim; Macworld has called iBank “beautifully designed and easy to use.”
Among many new features included in the release were faster transaction entry and dynamic editing options in an intuitive, innovative two-line register; an all-new reporting engine; envelope budgeting; a seamless set-up assistant for transferring data from Mac and PC versions of Quicken, MS Money, or other finance programs; and significant speed enhancements throughout. These improvements built upon longstanding iBank features such as direct downloads from online accounts, custom check printing, robust data export and iPhone sync.
IGG offers an unlimited 30-day free trial download of iBank, free support and a 90-day unconditional guarantee on direct purchases from the IGG web store. The retail price of iBank 4 is $59.99; licensed users of iBank 3 can upgrade for $29.99. iBank 4.2.4 requires Mac OS X 10.5.8 or higher, and will run on Macs using either Intel or PowerPC processors. There there is also access to a growing library of iBank 4 video tutorials at IGG’s website.
Also available from the Mac App Store, iBank 4 has been a number-one selling finance app, as well as the top-grossing finance app, since the launch of the Mac App Store in January. As of this weekend, iBank 4 was the highest-grossing third-party app on the store’s top charts, surpassed only by Apple software such as Final Cut Pro, Pages and Aperture.
