Track All Bills in One Place; See What Bills are Coming; and Receive Due Date Notifications

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Say goodbye to pesky late fees and missed bill payments.

Mint.com’s new Bill Reminders feature helps people stay on top of their upcoming bills by tracking regular due dates in one place. The new feature from the leading online personal finance management service provides people with a simple timeline of upcoming bills and lets them receive customized due date reminders on Mint.com, or via email and text message.

“Juggling due dates and amounts owed, and jumping from websites to paper statements, is tedious and confusing. Busy people have better ways to spend their time and money, such as saving toward a goal,” said Aaron Forth, vice president and general manager of the Intuit Inc.’s Personal Finance Group (Nasdaq:INTU). “Bill Reminders simplifies the bill-paying process by letting people see all bills in one spot, set up personalized reminders and avoid costly late or overdraft fees.”

Mint.com already offers reminders for credit cards and loans. The newest feature, developed in response to customer requests, helps people consolidate and track these payments alongside other important bills, such as those from phone, cable, auto and electric companies.

How it Works

When logging into Mint.com, users will see regular bills automatically identified and added to the new Bill Reminders feature, based on prior bank statements and monthly spending patterns. From there, users can:

  • See all bills in one place: Eliminate the need to log into multiple sites to track upcoming due dates.
  • Get bill due date alerts: Receive email or text message reminders to avoid missed payments, late or overdraft fees.
  • View a timeline of bills: See upcoming and past bills on the homepage.
  • Add any type of bill: Add any bills that are not automatically included, assign the bill a name, input an amount and choose a due date.

Bill Reminders is part of Mint.com’s ongoing commitment to helping people better manage their money and plan for their financial future. The new feature also reflects Mint.com’s dedication to customer satisfaction, as it was tested for several weeks by a group of users who had a say in the final product.
