Nexit app

Money at 30: Nexit App Review

Spoiler alert: Nexit is the road trip app I’ve waited for all my life. Okay, the “all my life” part may be slightly hyperbolic since apps weren’t really a thing in 1986 when I was born — but it’s been a long time. While map apps allow you to look up how far you are from a given business and other services like GasBuddy aim you toward cheap gas stations,...

Money at 30: BlockFi Interest Account Review

For years, I'd been hearing about cryptocurrencies and found myself increasingly intrigued. Unfortunately, at the time, I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to purchase, trade, or spend them. Thankfully, that's changed a lot in recent years as crypto and blockchain become more mainstream. Yet, what's interesting to me is that cryptocurrencies are still often treated as an investment instead of, well, currency. That's why BlockFi got...

Money at 30: Spiral vs Bella Loves Me — Banking + Giving Comparison

One of the great things about FinTech in general and neobanks in particular is how each can put a new spin on basic financial ideas. Case in point: both Spiral and Bella Loves Me have found ways to combine digital banking with the idea of increasing giving. Yet, despite that similar focus, the execution is remarkably different — making the comparison worth a closer look. With that in mind, let's...
Savely app

Money at 30: Savely App Review

For the past 18 months or so, planning travel has been a bit treacherous and frustrating to say the least. Meanwhile, many haven't even bothered trying to plan a trip for fear that it will likely get canceled (see: my latest booking cancelation). However, with at least some hope on the horizon, it's understandable that some may be fantasizing about taking the trip of their dreams in 2022 or beyond....

Money at 30: Yotta vs. PrizePool

In my time as a FinTech app reviewer, I've encountered a lot of interesting and mold-breaking banking offerings. One such platform that fits this description is Yotta Savings, which allows savers to win cash prizes through weekly drawings. Funny enough, nearly a year after I initially reviewed Yotta, the app PrizePool came on my radar. In this case, the app... allows savers to win cash prizes through weekly drawings. However,...
Mode phone and Current Andoid app

Money at 30: Mode Phone (and Current Rewards for Android) Review

A few short weeks ago, I shared my review of an app called Current Rewards that allows you to earn gift cards and cash just for listening to music (although you'll need to do a bit more if you want to really earn points). As I noted in that review, I was first made aware of the app's existence thanks to an ad I saw for the Mode Phone. Well,...

Astra App Review

It’s often been said that one of the keys to bettering your finances is automation. By setting up good money habits, tasks like saving and budgeting suddenly don’t feel as painful. With that in mind, the app Astra takes automation to the next level, offering some unique transfer options along with other handy features. So how does Astra save you hassle when it comes to managing your money? Let’s take...

Money at 30: Google Pay (for iOS) App Review

A few months ago, I saw an article about how Google Pay had revamped its app for iOS. This came as a surprise to me since I had no idea there was a Google Pay iPhone app. Nevertheless, I headed to the App Store and downloaded it. Further surprising me was that, despite the naming convention, Google Pay was not an Apple Pay wannabe and actually had a lot to...

2025 SoFi Checking and Savings Review

 Ever since I started taking an interest in the FinTech sector, one company whose name I’ve seen pop up over and over again is SoFi. That was later sent into overdrive as the company has not only become a household name thanks to its stadium naming rights deal but also because of the company’s continued product expansions. The most interesting development in my mind is SoFi’s acquisition of Golden Pacific...

Bilt Adds 2 New Transfer Partners Including First 3:2 Transfer Rate

Bilt is once again expanding its travel transfer rewards program — and is even breaking the mold with one new partner. About the new additions to Bilt: This week, Bilt launched partnerships with two more travel brands: TAP Air Portugal and Accor. As a result, Bilt members will now be able to transfer their points to Miles&Go and ALL Reward, respectively. In total, Bilt now has 18 transfer partners including 13...
PayPal Debit Card app

PayPal Debit Card Review: Earn Stackable 5% Cash Back

In recent weeks, PayPal debuted an updated debit card product (perhaps you've seen the incessant Will Ferrell commercials for it during football games?). With the launch of this card, the company known for online payments is encouraging customers to pay with them anywhere. To encourage such behavior, the debit card allows cardholders to earn 5% cashback — although, as you can imagine, there are some important restrictions on that. So,...
