Founded in 2015, Tally analyzes users' financial profiles to determine the smartest and fastest way to pay down a consumer's credit card debt, then takes action based on this information. Tally saves people money in two ways: by giving them a line of credit with a lower interest rate and by helping them manage their payments, ensuring cards are always paid on time. The app enables consumers to use credit cards for their convenience and rewards without worrying about late fees and other penalties.

Since officially launching its app in October 2017, Tally has saved users millions of dollars in interest and has the opportunity to save Americans billions more. The company has its own underwriting and financing models, which allow it to pass on savings not typically available to consumers.
