Our Product
Mint is fresh, intelligent online money management. Not only is Mint free, it saves you money. While existing personal finance software packages require hours to set up, a passion for accounting (is that possible?) and hours of weekly maintenance, Mint is virtually effortless.
With Mint, you can achieve better online financial management in less than five minutes. After that, revolutionary, patent–pending Mint money management software does the rest, with virtually no more work required. It automatically pulls together your bank, credit union and credit card data, and provides up–to–date and amazingly accurate views of your financial—life from the big picture to specific details, in a friendly and intuitive way. Plus, Mint makes it faster & easier to achieve your goals. With our NEW Goals feature, you can set and track your progress towards goals—like buying a house, getting out of debt or taking a vacation—or create savings goals of your own. We’ll even give you next steps and actions you can take to reach your goals more quickly.
In addition, Mint goes beyond visibility and analysis providing personalized money–saving and money–making suggestions. Mint provides users hundreds of dollars in savings opportunities during their first session. Plus, Mint is proactive—alerting you when you are exceeding your personal budget, have a low balance, need to pay a bill, and more.
Mint is safe and secure online money management: we never know your identity and we provide bank–level data security.
How Mint works
Mint is a modern, powerful, easy and secure Web–based solution for online financial management. And it’s free. You register anonymously using any valid email address, and then add the log–in information for the online bank, credit union, credit card and investment accounts you want to consolidate in Mint.
Mint connects securely to nearly all US banking financial institutions that have Internet banking capability. Your account information is updated daily. Mint automatically categorizes all your purchases, showing you how much you spend on gas, groceries, parking, rent, restaurants, DVD rentals and more, with amazing precision. Mint automatically analyzes and graphs your investment performance, showing you how you’re doing versus relevant market indicies like the S&P 500 and highlighting the fees you’re paying in each of your accounts. Mint’s advanced alerting system sends you email or SMS messages (your choice) on any unusual activity, low balances, fees and upcoming bills so you’re in constant contact with your money — effortlessly.
Mint goes way beyond just reporting and budget tracking. Using a patent-pending search algorithm, Mint constantly searches through thousands of offers from hundreds of providers to find you the best deals on everything from bank accounts to credit cards; brokerage accounts; and more. Mint’s suggestions are unique to you — as they’re based on your individual spending patterns. For example, if you have $20,000 in a bank account that’s earning no interest, Mint’s certain to find and recommend a high interest bearing savings account for you. Acting on that suggestion could give you an extra $900 in interest income over a year.
