I think that you should look at that 1,5mln users number from different perspective.

It's HUGE amount if you think of these people as being brave enough to give their PASSWORDS and bank account details to the startup!

Using Dropbox doesn't put you in any risks. To be an early Mint adopter you must be very ... well... adventurous.

I began with a bank account that I kept for depositing checks locally. And a credit card I rarely use. From there I slowly built up trust and added more accounts. All of that being said, it's safe to say I'm adventurous and a risk taker.
