“They are the largest, most powerful fintech company out there,” Goodarzi adds. “Credit Karma set out to do exactly what we’re trying to do-they’re just 10 years ahead of us,” Goodarzi says, noting that Intuit plans to let Credit Karma operate as an autonomous subsidiary. Rather, Intuit was intrigued by the reach of Credit Karma, a 13-year-old startup with 110 million members, as well as its other financial products- including credit card and loan comparison tools along with checking and savings accounts-an area into which Intuit has long sought to expand. “For us this was never about tax, so it wasn’t important to us,” Goodarzi tells Fortune.

Yet Sasan Goodarzi, the CEO of Intuit, says he isn’t concerned about acquiring a now smaller company. (And an Intuit spokesperson says the revised purchase price was not based on proceeds from that sale, in which Square paid $50 million.) Still, the increase is somewhat surprising considering Credit Karma sold its tax-prep product to Square last month to avoid antitrust concerns ahead of its combination with Intuit, which makes TurboTax. Since then, the stock price of Intuit had appreciated some 24%, which combined with an uptick in Credit Karma’s working capital, boosted the price tag of the deal. That’s up from the original value of $7.1 billion when the deal was initially announced in February.
