I was searching for articles on whether <a href="http://Mint.com" rel="nofollow">Mint.com</a> can be trusted with my bank account info and was pleasantly surprised that it led me here. So have you figured out how Mint makes money? And would you say Mint can be trusted?FrancisSun, 11 Jan 2009 06:54:56 -0000http://joshkim.org/2007/09/18/how-does-mintcom-make-money/#comment-5053195I think I may need to do another post on <a href="http://Mint.com" rel="nofollow">Mint.com</a>.

There has to be more earning potential if investors got involved so early in development. Investors are all about bottom line not just for the improvement of life (ideally a combination of the two though). So any new feedback on how they make money? Seems like it could be converted to a pay service at some point...once we are all dependent on them.</p>jasonkWed, 06 Feb 2008 19:24:47 -0000http://joshkim.org/2007/09/18/how-does-mintcom-make-money/#comment-2289660<p>Looks like the site is picking up traction.

The referral program is all I could see (credit card offers, etc)? I presume you may offer some premium features down the line?</p><br><p>I LOVE the site btw. You owe your web developers a big bonus because it is one of the prettiest sites I have seen of late.</p>KyleWed, 26 Sep 2007 19:25:21 -0000http://joshkim.org/2007/09/18/how-does-mintcom-make-money/#comment-5682421<p>So how do you make money (directed at Aaron - whom I assume works at mint)?
