Don’t worry, Intuit‘s picking up the check. As expected, Mountain, View, Calif.-based Intuit is going ahead with its plan to purchase the mobile bill pay app Check, formerly known as Pageonce. The expected purchase price is $360 million. Check’s bill payment functionality will enhance Intuit’s Mint and Quicken offerings. Mint, a popular personal financial management tool, does not currently allow for the payment of bills from the app. The purchase is expected to close in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014, according to Intuit. Guy Goldstein, Check’s co-founder and CEO, will become a vice president in Intuit’s consumer ecosystem group. Check secured $24 million in series C funding in September 2013. The company changed its name from Pageonce in May 2013. Under the name Pageonce, the company was one of the earliest financial services apps to launch on the iPhone. We expect the name to change within Intuit’s ecosystem. The name “Check” was always a bit awkward, and difficult from a search engine optimization perspective. Check processes about $500 million in payments a year.
