help Mint (Credit Karma) FAQ
Why did Mint shut down and move to Credit Karma?
Intuit announced the shutdown of Mint in 2022, officially migrating users to Credit Karma to focus on credit monitoring and financial product recommendations instead of strict expense tracking. The transition was completed in early 2024, much to the dismay of long-time Mint users.
Does Credit Karma offer the same zero-based budgeting features that Mint had?
No, the Credit Karma migration eliminated Mint's core zero-based budgeting and category-splitting features, offering only a basic view of your net worth and spending. This forced many budgeters to switch to dedicated platforms like YNAB (You Need A Budget) or Monarch Money.
Can I still export my historical transaction data from my old Mint account?
Intuit provided a limited window for users to export their historical Mint data as a CSV file before the service fully shut down on March 23, 2024. Once the migration to Credit Karma was forced, the granular historical transaction data was permanently deleted.
Will I be charged subscription fees now that Mint is part of Credit Karma?
No, the Credit Karma platform remains completely free to use, just as Mint was previously free. However, instead of seeing targeted financial advertisements, Credit Karma makes money by recommending credit cards, personal loans, and insurance products based on your financial profile.
