Mint Bills, formerly Check[1] and before that Pageonce,[2] was a website and mobile banking application developed by Check, Inc.[citation needed] Mint Bills utilized proprietary account aggregation technology for secure payment technologies in its mobile applications; its primary service allowed users to pay bills and track bank, credit card, investment, and loan transactions and balances through the Mint Bills website or mobile apps for its Android and iOS platforms. Mint Bills was bought by Intuit in 2014 and integrated into Mint.com in March 2017. The Mint.com bill payment service was then discontinued on June 30, 2018.[3]
