Automatically Updates Account Information

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- People can now tap, pinch and flick their way to financial fitness with the new Mint.com app for iPad.

Now available on the App Store, the Mint.com app takes full advantage of iPad’s high-resolution, multi-touch display, delivering the most interactive view of Mint’s industry-leading online personal financial management tool.

Mint users will see the application run faster and smoother because the Mint.com app for iPad supports features of the newly released iOS 5, including Automatic Reference Counting technology. In addition, customers will receive instant updates on bill reminders, alerts and other account activity through the app’s Notification Center.

More than 7 million people use Mint.com’s award-winning Web and mobile offerings to quickly and easily see all their money in one place. The Mint.com app makes money management simple, giving users a convenient way to manage their accounts and learn more about savings and other transactions.

“People send us their inspiring stories about how and why they use Mint.com, and it helped us to envision this new product,” said Aaron Forth, general manager of Intuit Inc.’s (Nasdaq:INTU) personal finance group. “For couples reviewing their combined savings at home on the couch, or for parents teaching their kids about money, the Mint.com app for iPad lets them tap, pinch and flick, making the experience more collaborative and social.”

How the App Delivers

The new iPad app re-envisions popular Mint.com features, letting users:

  • Organize all accounts: One tap delivers a complete overview of finances, all in one place.
  • Get personalized updates: New streaming delivery of account alerts, bill reminders and personalized advice helps people make smart financial decisions.
  • Obtain financial insight: Pinch, tap and flick through graphs to drill into spending by category, merchant or budget.
  • Sync multiple devices: Changes to one platform – on the Web browser, Mac, iPad, iPod Touch and smartphone, either iPhone or Android, automatically sync on all devices.
  • Track cash spending: The app’s geo-location capabilities help people cleanly and immediately categorize cash spending, so no spending goes unaccounted for in people’s budgets.
  • Review finances anywhere: No Internet? No problem. Storing data from the latest download allows easier viewing of finances, anytime, anywhere.

Intuit’s unique approach to innovation helps it quickly adapt products for tablets such as iPad, according to a recent report from Forrester Research. Mint on the iPad is the latest example, joining a robust line-up of mobile solutions that are changing the way people manage their finances around the world.

Users feel secure when managing money on the go, because of an application-level passcode, read-only account access and the ability to disable access from mobile devices to account information at any time from the Mint.com website.

The Mint.com App is available for free from the App Store or iPad at www.itunes.com/appstore.
