## Summary

Intuit says its real-time view of payments, payroll and expenses lets it predict cash flow shortages and offer lines of credit or term loans before banks can. Todd Denbo, Intuit's senior vice president of lending, says lending grew from about $400 million a year four years ago to almost $7 billion in the latest fiscal year. The company says AI drafts financial actions, but a human must approve anything that moves money.
