This is the first time the Rocket Mortgage experience has been directly integrated into a personal finance platform.

"Across the country, Americans are struggling with their finances as many face difficult economic times. As interest rates are near an all-time low, now is an ideal time for many to consider refinancing their mortgages and save thousands," said Varun Krishna , SVP & Head of Consumer Finance at Intuit. "For too long, the refinance process has been an annoyingly tedious and overwhelming experience for all of us to find the right lender and loan for our situation. We're excited to help simplify the process for Mint users with this integration of Rocket Mortgage and give our customers some peace of mind during this already stressful time."

With the integration of Rocket Mortgage's digital refinance application, Mint users can now seamlessly find the best options for lowering their rate through the easy-to-navigate Mint interface combined with the powerful Rocket Mortgage API. This new feature allows users to pre-fill data from Mint, skipping through additional account creation and data entry, greatly reducing the time it takes for a homeowner to easily apply for a refinance. Thanks to Rocket Mortgage's streamlined process, and the connection to user information in Mint, homeowners can be approved and lock-in mortgage rates in as few as eight minutes instead of days or weeks.

"Mint users are financially savvy and keenly aware of their finances – with many using the app to make smart decisions for themselves and their families. These are the consumers who will realize they could free up much needed monthly cash flow with a refinance to today's low mortgage rates," said Tim Birkmeier, Chief Revenue Officer of Rocket Mortgage. "Partnering with Intuit to offer the Rocket Mortgage experience right inside the Mint app is a monumental step for our Rocket Mortgage-as-a-service technology and, more importantly, a great opportunity to vastly improve users' finances."
