How much will the service cost? Presumably they'd have to charge money for it, since the alternative business model would be something unspeakably horrible, like selling users' personal financial information. And it would be nice to see a privacy policy before providing your e-mail to get an invitation.


Hi there!

We plan to charge a users in a variety of ways. it will be a freemium service so some users who have a minimal number of accounts or bills will never pay anything, but we'll have tiers depending on what the user wants, for instance the move me service for setting up your utilities, cable, etc could be an a la carte charge.

We think the average user (3 bank accounts about 12 bills per month) will probably pay about $5 per month for the service and with the grey charge removal alone we're confident we can save you that fee :)

There is also quite a bit of interest for the biller to pay us since it will ensure their users pay their bills on time and from the studies we've seen so far having this as an option even improves users' opinions of their bill providers.

So never fear there are definitely ways of making money outside of shady practices or selling your financial info(which we will NEVER do under any circumstance)

Hope that helps :)
