Thumbnail image for MintLogo.jpg

Mint.com, who had the industry debut of its PFM at the first Finovate conference in 2007, announced yesterday that it has surpassed 10 million registered users. It also released some growth figures:

    • Tracks over $80 billion in credit and debit transactions
    • Tracks almost $1 trillion in loans and assets
    • After being acquired by Intuit in 2009, the number of banks it integrates with has increased from around 8,000 to 15,000
    • 70% of users access Mint using a mobile device

In unrelated news, TechCrunch discovered the code today for an advertisement of a Mint-branded debit card. The yet-to-be-announced card appears to be in direct competition with Simple, who just debuted a spending reports feature yesterday.

To learn more about Simple, watch its FinovateFall 2011 demo.
