None of the functionality has changed but I’m hoping this is an indication that Intuit will be making other changes as well. I’ve got my fingers crossed…

Paytrust hasn’t been updated since ’05 (actually late in ’07 they finally updated the footer!!!) and if they do updates it’s only mission critical fixes. Take a look at the footer it still reads 2007 http://www.paytrust.com/ it read 2005 for years.

Intuit doesn’t like the competition Mint was giving… so they buy it essentially killing the competition and stopping the innovation. Long time Paytrust user. Sad to see Intuit buying Paytrust.

It sounded very bright and rosy at the time, but absolutely nothing has happened since the acquisition. Intuit has done nothing to grow the service or even align it with its current product offering. Actually, it doesn’t even promote the service. Try searching for “paytrust” on any Intuit site and you’ll come up with blanks.
