NerdWallet is a fintech company that allows users to compare different financial products, like credit cards, checking accounts, savings accounts, and mortgages, to find the best rates for their financial situations. The company was founded in 2009, and has grown from a simple credit card comparison app to a personal finance company with millions of users every month. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, California, and its CEO is also one of its founders, Tim Chen.

NerdWallet’s ultimate goal is to provide its users with the information that they need in order to make smart financial decisions. It accomplishes this through its comparison tools, but also through its extensive blog, which covers all manner of financial topics, and its various free tools for users.
