About Us

The Smart Wallet Story

Fun fact: The Smart Wallet was originally called The Bill Wizard.

A drastic transformation, we know!

The team came together and felt that rebranding was necessary back in November 2018, to better encompass and illustrate our core values of helping everyone live their best financial life through practical advice that readers can immediately put to use.

We’re proud to call ourselves The Smart Wallet and we’re excited to have you here on this continuous journey to financial freedom!
