Bills.com, an online portal for consumer financial information and advice, acquired Finovate alum Home-Account.com for an undisclosed sum on July 28, 2010. Bills.com was an early investor in Home-Account, which helps mortgage and refinance shoppers find loans in a "competitive, transparent, convenient and affordable manner."
Bills.com told TechCrunch (link here) they plan to scale the Home-Account service to other consumer financial needs such as paying off debt.
Bills.com attracts considerably more website traffic. In June, the financial portal attracted 130,000 unique U.S. visitors compared to less than 15,000 for Home-Account.com and its related Refinance.com site (Source from Compete.com).
