Tally brings its app for credit card debt payments to Android
Credit card debt can be crippling. In 2016, the average cardholder had about $16,000 in debt, or about 11.7 percent of their total household debt. With an interest rate of 17 percent and a minimum monthly payment of $250, it’d take 11 years to wipe off the books. That’s where Tally, an automated app that helps users pay off credit card debt, comes in. It’s debuting on Android this week just about a year after its iOS launch in June 2017.

Like card sharks in a casino, these customers tend to be very savvy, know all the rules and angles, and can eat away at a bank's credit-card profits. Chase has gained widespread attention for its lavish rewards program, but profitability in its card division has fallen as it spends billions on rising rewards costs. The shutdown cases are anecdotal, but they suggest that Chase may be taking a harder line with credit-card … [Read more...] about Credit-card super users are searching for answers amid a string of shutdowns from Chase, as billions in costs on lavish rewards pile up (JPM)
