WalletHub (formerly CardHub.com) is a personal finance company that launched in August 2013.[1] [2] It is based in Miami [3] and owned by Evolution Finance, Inc.[4] [5]
WalletHub offers free consumer tools,[6] [7] [8] such as its WalletLiteracy Quiz[9] [10] and its Financial Fitness Tool, which provides users with credit reports, scores and monitoring.[11] [12] WalletHub has tools for comparing credit cards, personal loans, car insurance and bank accounts.[13] [14]
History
[edit ]WalletHub initially positioned itself as a "personal finance social network" with a focus on reviews for financial advisors,[2] [15] [16] and later expanded to add financial management tools.[17] [18] [19] [20] [21]
In February 2015, Major League Baseball filed a trademark dispute claiming that WalletHub's logo resembled the logos of the Washington Nationals and the Chicago Cubs too closely.[22] Major League Baseball ended the dispute in August 2015 after WalletHub amended its trademark registration to explicitly exclude baseball and softball from the trademark's scope.[23]
Products and services
[edit ]WalletHub provides financial product comparison tools[24] for credit cards, car insurance, and bank accounts. The company has produced a wide range of research reports, including a quarterly credit card debt report and reports comparing cities and states in financially relevant categories.[25] [26] [27] WalletHub also offers free credit scores, reports, and monitoring through a partnership with TransUnion.[28]
