Quicken, Mint’s predecessor, said “we are not a financial institution, we are only an information system”. It was not easy as players feared being “aggregated” would turn their businesses into commodities. Mint is the mother of all financial apps.įor now it has “only” 10 million users and it “only” provides account data aggregation, but in the future it will not be difficult for the company to include transactional capabilities, this will turn your Mint into the “operating system” of your finances and the whole retail financial sector.ĭuring the 90’s Mint’s parent company, Intuit, the makers of Quicken, slowly managed to aggregate the account information of an ever increasing number of banks, brokers, credit card companies, and other relevant financial sector companies. With some more integration and user adoption Mint will be the real portal to the whole retail financial sector. Mint is not a financial software, it’s your integrated dashboard to all of your finances.
