Today, the team that brought you CardHub is proud to announce the launch of WalletHub.com from beta mode.
WalletHub is the first social network built solely around personal finance. It fills a major void in the industry with a unique combination of features designed to help consumers quickly make the best financial decisions:
- Reviews: Users can read and write reviews for more than 1 million financial companies, professionals, and products across the spectrum of personal finance. Most importantly, many of these providers cannot be reviewed anywhere else. You can therefore think of WalletHub as the Yelp of personal finance.
- Social Interaction: Users can also organize around shared financial interests as well as seek financial advice from other users, companies and experts in the community.
- Customizable Financial News: WalletNews enables users to follow their favorite news outlets, blogs and financial experts in order to centralize all of the news and information that they consider integral to proper money management.
- Compare Rates & Fees: Finally, WalletHub presents consumers with the most up-to-date rates and fees for thousands of financial products. It's like CardHub on steroids!
"WalletHub has been a long time in the making, and I am beyond thrilled to announce that it's finally here," Odysseas Papadimitriou - the founder & CEO of both WalletHub.com and CardHub.com - said of today's launch. "The Great Recession was a stark wake-up call to the need for greater transparency in the personal finance industry as well as the development of tools and information that can help make the complicated task of responsible money management easier for everyone. WalletHub offers all of that, thereby filling a major void and improving our prospects for a brighter financial future.
No longer will unscrupulous financial advisors be allowed to hide in the shadows. Nor will the average consumer be left to his or her own devices when making important financial decisions. We all now have a powerful allly in each other's shared knowledge and experiences, and when you combine that with personalized news and product comparison tools, it's clear that the way we approach our finances is changing for the better. I promise - if you use WalletHub, your wallet will thank you!"
