Mint.com Purchased by Intuit

]]> Intuit, the makers of TurboTax, Quicken and QuickBooks, has entered into an agreement to purchase online personal finance startup Mint.com for an amount reported to be approximately $170 million. About a month ago, we reported that Mint.com had received $14 million in funding — so the timing of this sale is a bit unexpected.

Aaron Patzer, the founder and CEO of Mint.com, believes this move is good news for the Mint.com userbase.

Said Patzer: “Joining Intuit enables us to bring our vision of helping consumers understand and do more with their money to millions of Intuit customers. This is a compelling combination of our innovative product, technology, and user interface design with one of the most trusted brands in software.”

Although Intuit already has a similar service in Quicken Online, Intuit said that they will keep both online. We’re also assuming that the Mint.com service will remain being free.

“Mint.com’s employees are proven inventors and pioneers in developing innovative SaaS offerings with their unique ‘ways to save’ engine, data analytics and popular UI to their credit,” said of Dan Maurer of Intuit.
