Mint, a leading personal finance app
from Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq:INTU), is
making it even easier for consumers to stay on top of their finances and
streamline their bill-paying process with the introduction of Intuit
Mint Bills, formerly known as Check.
Mint Bills, available on
Android, iPhone, iPad mobile devices and now the Web, helps people
easily see and pay their bills in one place, so they never have to miss
a payment. According to a recent McKinsey study, two out of every five
Americans is living paycheck to paycheck, often struggling to balance
money coming in and going out. Mint Bills takes the guesswork out of
personal finances and helps consumers avoid late fees.
Here’s what’s new:
-
Mint Bills’ web app: Extends bill pay capability, letting
people quickly register, search for and set up their billers based on
their zip code. Registered users will see what bills are due and when.
-
Mint Bills’ mobile apps: Features several significant product
improvements, including a complete redesign for Android devices.
Formerly known as Check, the mobile apps simplify the registration and
startup process, and adds new bill categories designed to help people
find and add new bills.
“Mint has historically served as a rear-view mirror for personal
finances, providing consumers a look back at their money,” said Barry
Saik, senior vice president and general manager of Intuit’s Consumer
Ecosystem Group. “Today, we’re taking a more forward-looking approach,
helping people to anticipate and accomplish must-do financial tasks,
such as paying bills, so they can feel confident and in control of their
money.”
