This afternoon Intuit confirmed persistent rumors that it was in the process of buying MailChimp, detailing a $12 billion transaction that will bring the well-known email infra company to its corporate remit.
Intuit is not a well-known player in the email marketing space. The company is instead best known for its TurboTax software — and associated lobbying of the US government to ensure its rent-seeking can continue — its recent purchase of CreditKarma, and its more dated acquisition of Mint.
