Looks like today’s news theme is “Finance Friday”.
Popular online personal finance service Mint.com has been available to our US neighbours for over a year now. Today Mint.com now officially supports Canada (it was out in beta a couple months ago) and is a huge boost for those looking to aggregate their financial accounts into one place. Oh, and the Mint.com iPhone app is something you’re going to want to use with this.
More from Business Wire:
Since being acquired by Intuit, Mint.com has more than doubled its user base to 4.5 million users, and doubled the number of financial institutions it connects to, now 16,000.
“From the very beginning, when Mint.com was more a concept than a product, I envisioned it as a global offering helping millions of people worldwide better manage their money,†said Aaron Patzer, vice president and general manager of Intuit Personal Finance and founder of Mint.com. “Joining Intuit last year made that vision a reality, and we’ve spent much of the last few months doing in-market testing and applying Intuit’s Customer Driven Innovation philosophy to learn more about our new and potential customers. Our Canadian launch is just the beginning of Mint.com’s global expansion.â€
