QuickBooks Karma? Financing Your Estimates
This episode discusses a new feature in QuickBooks Online that offers financing options to customers directly through estimates and invoices. The hosts, Alicia and Hector, initially express concerns about privacy and potential predatory lending practices but later discover that the feature is optional and controlled by the business owner. They speculate on Intuit's motivations for introducing this feature, linking it to their acquisition of Credit Karma and the potential for generating revenue through loan commissions. Hector and Alicia emphasize the need for clear communication from Intuit about new features and encouraging users to check their settings to understand how this feature might affect their business interactions.
