WalletHub (formerly CardHub.com) is a personal finance website that was launched in August 2013.[1][2] It is based in Washington, D.C.[3][4][5] and owned by Evolution Finance, Inc.[6][7]
According to Web reports, WalletHub initially positioned itself as a “personal finance social network” with a focus on reviews for financial advisors.[2][8][9]
WalletHub offers free consumer tools,[10][11][12] such as its WalletLiteracy Quiz[13][14] and its Financial Fitness Tool, which provides users with credit reports, scores and monitoring.[15][16] The company also successfully overcame a public trademark dispute with Major League Baseball, brought on behalf of the Washington Nationals and Chicago Cubs.[17][18]
History
In mid-November 2021, a weekly New York Times feature used Wallethub's data for what the Times headlined "The Best and Worst Cities For Celebrating Thanksgiving."[19]
