NerdWallet

NerdWallet offers financial recommendations you can trust (and we’re hiring!)

The amount of financial information on the internet is overwhelming. Our founders Tim and Jake believe in creating resources that consumers can trust.

As nerds, we stand by our commitment to build tools and deliver information and recommendations that are:

• Clear: We spend considerable time designing tools that are simple, straightforward, and easy to understand.

• Unbiased: We use a numbers-based, analytic, and transparent approach to deliver fair and objective results.

• Personalized: We customize results for consumers based on who they are and how they spend money.

• Complete: Some sites only list products or services that earn them money, there is nothing fair about that! We include all the data we can find.

Focused on the customer

With these ideals, NerdWallet empowers consumers to make better decisions about their personal finances, travel plans, or higher education. We think of ourselves as the first ‘.org’ recommendation site – we never sacrifice user welfare in the name of profits.

Tools that answer real questions

NerdWallet helps consumers save money and make smarter decisions about their personal finances, travel plans, or higher education.

Bootstrapped and growing

We are able to make this commitment because we aren’t shackled to outside investors or stakeholders who don’t believe in our mission. But we’re still profitable, and growing.

Want to help us make the financial world a better place? Join the Nerd team!
