Automated Assistants Will Soon Make a Bid for Your Finances
These companies are planning to make their money by pointing their customers to outside financial services. Between that and being able to scrape your information, what could possibly go wrong?Credit Karma and Mint, two popular financial applications with many millions more users than Digit, are about to roll out suites of new features that will make them feel more like robotic financial advisors, tapping customers on the shoulder when they could make better financial decisions.
Ken Lin, the founder and chief executive of the site, said that once Credit Karma had access to a customer’s tax filings it would have a much more detailed picture of that person’s finances and could turn that into new layers of financial advice — by identifying, for instance, ways to invest money with more tax efficiency.
