Mint.com is a free, web-based personal financial management service for Canada and the US, created by Aaron Patzer. Mint originally provided account aggregation through a deal with Yodlee, but has since moved to using Intuit for connecting to accounts. Mint's primary service allows users to track bank, credit card, investment, and loan balances and transactions through a single user interface, as well as create budgets and set financial goals. In 2009, Mint was acquired by Intuit, the makers of Quicken and TurboTax.
As of 2010, Mint.com claims to connect with more than 16,000 Canadian and US financial institutions, and to support more than 17 million individual financial accounts. As of November 2013[update], Mint.com claimed to have more than 10 million users. In 2016, Mint.com claimed to have over 20 million users.
Mint raised over $31M in venture capital funding from DAG Ventures, Shasta Ventures, and First Round Capital, as well as from angel investors including Ram Shriram, an early investor in Google. The latest round of $14M was closed on August 4, 2009, and reported by CEO Aaron Patzer as preemptive. TechCrunch later pegged the valuation of Mint at $140M.
In February 2008, revenue was generated through lead generation, earned via earning referral fees from recommendations of highly personalized, targeted financial products to its users.
On September 13, 2009, TechCrunch reported Intuit would acquire Mint for $170 million. An official announcement was made the following day.
