Thats £30ish... Something that pays all of my bills on time, and checks through my accounts and flags things that are unusual. It should probably be researching to see who the best service providers are and switching accordingly.
- gadders 14y agoAn article from the Economist [1] covers some of the latter idea: A leader in this field is Cardlytics, a private American company founded in 2008. It has developed technology to analyse transaction data held by banks and to use this information to sell targeted advertisements to retailers and others. A supermarket might, for example, be interested in customers who spend $100 or more a month at rival grocers but who have not entered its own stores for six months. It might then offer these people a 20% discount on their next shopping trip at its stores. Cardlytics would insert an advertisement to this effect into these customers’ online-bank statements, ideally under a relevant transaction such as a payment to a rival retailer. Customers can accept the discount online by clicking a box. This connects the discount coupon to their debit card, so that the discount is automatically rebated to their account when they meet the conditions (by, for instance, shopping at the store within a certain period of time).
