CreditWise

Inspiration

As broke college students, we are all too aware of how helpful a good credit card can be. Not only are they convenient, they’re also one of the few ways we can actually start building a credit score before we’re thrown out into the "real world." But let's be real: trying to pick the right one for you is no easy task. It's time consuming, difficult to evaluate, and there's no guarantee that you've considered every option.

What it does

Instead of generically comparing different credit card "bonuses" and "features", we use YOUR information in order to give custom-tailored advice and show you how much money you can save every year from a variety of credit cards.

How we built it
