Intuit Inc. (INTU) has announced the entry into a new $5.8 billiona unsecured short-term revolving credit facility, maturing on March 31, 2026.
This facility is specifically designated to fund the Company's early tax refund offering, allowing eligible customers to receive their federal tax refunds up to five days before IRS settlement. The funds are disbursed only after the IRS confirms the refund payment and it's received by Intuit in a company-controlled account. This new credit line supplements Intuit's existing financing options, including its commercial paper program and another credit agreement established on January 9, 2026.
The credit facility offers flexibility for borrowing, repayment, and reborrowing, with no penalties for voluntary prepayments or reductions in unused commitments, aside from customary interest breakage charges. Interest rates will be based on SOFR or a base rate, plus an applicable margin.
Intuit has not yet drawn any funds under this new agreement. The agreement includes standard covenants, such as a maximum consolidated leverage ratio requirement.
