At QuickBooks, our innovation is driven by our deep understanding of the unique needs of small businesses at each stage of their journey. This approach powered the development of Money by QuickBooks at a critical time as new business owners are increasingly turning to digital, mobile-first offerings. A 2021 study by QuickBooks found that nearly one third (30%) of those who process payments using mobile payment apps started doing so during the pandemic. Customer insights are also fueling how we continue to enhance the Money by QuickBooks experience. Now, our digitally inclined Money by QuickBooks customers are supported with even stronger in-app money management capabilities including a new user interface introduced this month that makes it easier to get a clear view into their cash flow and easily track payments activity.

Money by QuickBooks will continue to add even more powerful banking features in-app that support earning, spending and managing money including mobile check deposit and the ability to use your debit card via Apple Pay and Google Pay wallets, each of which is expected to begin rolling out to customers in the coming weeks.

QuickBooks’ suite of money products encompasses payments, capital and banking services that are designed specifically to help small business customers grow and run their business, deliver faster access to their money and improve cash flow management with integrated, intelligent forecasting and planning capabilities. Money by QuickBooks is the newest extension of the platform and leverages expertise, insights and learnings from decades of working with small businesses and gleaned since the first business bank account for QuickBooks customers, QuickBooks Cash, launched in 2020. QuickBooks Cash and Money by QuickBooks showcase Intuit’s transformation of business banking from a store of funds to a hub with true predictability of cash flow, creating a purpose-built bank account, provided by our partner Green Dot Bank. Money by QuickBooks also leverages Intuit’s leadership in payments, processing $91 billion in volume annually, to help small businesses get paid fast.
