Wallaby Upgrades Credit Card Optimization Solution with Spend Monitor

Wallaby Upgrades Credit Card Optimization Solution with Spend Monitor
By Julie Muhn (@julieschicktanz) Posted on
Categories: Wallaby Financial

WallabyHomepage1

Wallaby Financial launched Spend Monitor, along with an updated dashboard and customizable widgets. The improvements to its credit card rewards maximization service give users a more complete view of their daily finances.

Spend Monitor provides a quick view of credit-card spending, making it easy to track finances and identify changes in spending behavior. It does this with three key actions:

  • Pinpoints increased or unusual activity in a specific category via spending alerts
  • Identifies suspicious activity, such as double charges and potential fraud
  • Depicts where and how users could have earned more rewards

The updated dashboard screen (pictured below) offers users a quick glance of their rewards, upcoming bills, and overall spending.

MobileDashboard

These upgrades are part of version 4.0 of Wallaby’s iOS mobile app, which also includes widgets such as bill-pay alerts, and a tool (pictured below) to identify the best credit card to use for each purchase.

WallabyBestCardThe new Wallaby 4.0 mobile app is available for iOS devices, including the Apple Watch.

WallabyAppleWatch

Wallaby’s most recent Finovate appearance was at FinovateSpring 2013 where it debuted Wallaby Wallet Boost (demo video below). The California-based company is slated to present at FinDEVr San Francisco 2015 this October, where it will make a specialized pitch for developers.
