Description

The New York and Tel Aviv-based personal finance company developed a mobile app for both iOS and Android platforms, which provided users with detailed spend analytics, credit scores, charge details, transaction maps, and data breach alerts in one smart box. By drawing upon a combination of crowdsourced feedback, data from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, complaints posted across the internet, and its own algorithms, the app determined what charges to bring to users’ attention via email and smartphone push alerts. BillGuard was acquired by Prosper Marketplace in Oct 2015 for $45M.
