[Intuit Partners with Circle to Integrate USDC Payments into TurboTax and QuickBooks]
Financial software giant Intuit has signed a multi-year partnership agreement with Circle, planning to integrate USDC stablecoin payment functionality into core products like TurboTax and QuickBooks. This will leverage Circle's infrastructure to enable fast and low-cost settlements for tax refunds and business payments. Intuit has not yet disclosed the specific launch timeline or clarified whether users will directly hold USDC or if it will only serve as a backend payment channel. Visa has already launched a Solana-based USDC settlement service for U.S. banks, and Circle is also expanding its issuance and distribution business with exchanges like Bybit.
