Joint CEO Video Script

Kenneth Lin:

Hi, I’m Kenneth Lin, CEO of Credit Karma.

Sasan Goodarzi:

And I’m Sasan Goodarzi, CEO of Intuit. Ken and I are here together to share some exciting news for consumers around the globe.

We’re very excited to announce that Intuit has agreed to acquire Credit Karma. Our companies will be joining forces to create a consumer finance platform that works like a personalized financial assistant for consumers. We’re confident that together we can empower consumers to reduce debt, maximize savings and put more money in their pockets.

Kenneth Lin:

Intuit’s and Credit Karma’s vision is to make it extremely simple for consumers to improve their financial lives — to help them to make financial progress. We will work together to address a critical consumer challenge — how to better manage money, easily. With so many decisions to make, and products and tools to choose from, it’s often difficult to keep track of your personal finances. Today, household debt has reached $14 trillion and consumers are missing out on more than $50 billion in savings from lower interest rate loans. To solve for this, we are creating a consumer finance platform that works like a personalized assistant. It uses data and AI to match consumers with the products that are right for them, to put more money in their pockets and offer actionable insights and advice.

Sasan Goodarzi:

Together, our platform will offer access to products and services from 100 financial service providers.

Consumers can decide to use their data to engage with our financial institution partners so that these partners can provide them with better offers and transparent, friction-free interactions.

Kenneth Lin:

Credit Karma’s mission of financial progress has always been centered around transparency, simplicity and certainty. Like Intuit, we embrace a culture of customer obsession and technology-driven innovation.

Our combined expertise will embody our shared values – the process will be transparent so consumers can see all of the products that they are eligible for. With a tech-forward approach to improving access to information, we will put the power in the hands of consumers.


Sasan Goodarzi:

With this platform, we believe our companies can transform FinTech. By leveraging our shared technological capabilities and best-in-class talent, our combined company will offer more solutions and more value to both consumers and the financial partners who compete for their business. And while the fintech industry is ripe with innovation and investment, our platform will be the first personalized financial assistant that helps consumers take control of their financial lives.

I have long admired Ken and have an immense amount of respect for what he and his extraordinary team have accomplished since the company started in 2007. Beyond its well-established consumer technology platform, we look forward to learning from Credit Karma’s best-in-class talent when it comes to mobile engagement.

Kenneth Lin:

I am extremely proud of the team and the entrepreneurial culture we’ve developed at Credit Karma and the trust we’ve earned from our members over the last 12 years. With Intuit, Credit Karma will gain access to Intuit’s proven experience with consumers and financial institutions, their risk and fraud capabilities, and its AI-driven expert platform.

Kenneth Lin:

Upon closing, I will continue to lead the Credit Karma team. And Credit Karma will keep its headquarters in San Francisco, California. Credit Karma is thrilled to take this step with Intuit. And I truly believe that our companies are going to do something very special together.

Sasan Goodarzi:

And we are excited to learn from each company’s strengths, share ideas, and develop our talent to ultimately lead the industry in developing products that deliver more value for consumers.

As you can tell, we’re both excited about this announcement as we create a new value proposition as a combined company.

At the end of the day, both companies are driven by a common goal: empowering consumers to make smart decisions about their money. We will remain deeply committed to this as we move forward together, after the closing of the acquisition, as one team.
