That’s why it was worth $7B for Intuit to acquire Credit Karma. They’re pretty aggressive about buying up potential disruptors.

Intuit didn’t get Credit Karma’s tax filing business. That got spun off and went to Square.

They don’t need it. The danger was always Credit Karma’s users + the tax business. The tax business by itself means little. Spinning it off even makes the deal look better to regulators.
