**More about WalletHub**
WalletHub, the #1 Personal Finance App in the US and one of Forbes' Top 100 Best StartUp Employers for both 2020 and 2021, is seeking hardworking, like-minded individuals to help us disrupt personal finance and make a tangible difference in people's everyday lives.
More specifically, we are harnessing the power of data analytics and artificial intelligence to build the brain of a smart financial advisor, whose services we're offering to everyone for free.
The WalletHub brain enables users to make better financial decisions in a fraction of the time with three unique features:
**1) Customized Credit-Improvement Tips**: WalletHub identifies improvement opportunities and guides you through the necessary corrections.
**2) Personalized Money-Saving Advice**: WalletHub's savings brain constantly scours the market for load-lightening opportunities, bringing you only the best deals.
**3) Wallet Surveillance**: Personal finance isn't as scary with 24/7 credit monitoring providing backup, notifying you of important credit-report changes.
WalletHub's initial focus was in the credit card space, and we quickly became the go-to credit card resource for consumers and industry professionals alike.
Not only did the nonprofit group Consumer Action rate WalletHub as the best credit card website, but our industry research and expert opinions are featured in the national media far more often than any other company in the space.
In addition to the valuable intelligence the brain provides, WalletHub is the first service to offer free credit scores and full credit reports that are updated on a daily basis absent of user interaction, rather than weekly or monthly and only when a user logs in.
Some other services hang their hats on free credit scores and reports, yet they're still inferior to what WalletHub considers minor pieces to a much larger puzzle.
