Mint integrates Bitcoin wallet into personal finance app

Bitcoin wallet provider Coinbase and Mint, Intuit's personal finance app, have partnered to allow users to view their Bitcoin transactions processed by Coinbase alongside their traditional financial accounts.

U.S.-based Coinbase supports 840,000 Bitcoin wallets, while Mint links to 20,000 banks, credit unions, credit cards, loan and investment accounts to provide its 14 million users with a personalized view of their financial accounts.

Mint is the first personal finance and money management tool to show Bitcoin transactions alongside other financial information, the company said in a website statement.

"We're proud to serve as Mint's official wallet for these Bitcoin transactions and look forward to seeing continued adoption of Bitcoin," Coinbase said on its website.

"There are now 12 million Bitcoin in circulation and 60,000 merchants accepting it via Coinbase," Mint product manager Vince Maniago told Venture Beat. "We felt like it was something we couldn't ignore anymore, and this is a good time to go out and support the currency as it becomes more legitimate."

Maniago added that Mint is treating Bitcoin as an asset, not a currency, Venture Beat said.

Mint's website provides instructions for linking Coinbase accounts to the Mint app.
