Branch, the scheduling and pay management app for hourly workers, has added a new pay-on-demand service called Pay, which is now available to anyone who downloads the Branch app. It’s an attempt to provide a fee-based alternative to payday lending, where borrowers charge exorbitant rates to lenders on short term loans or cash advances. Borrowers […]

Massive-scale predictive analytics is a relatively new phenomenon, one that challenges both decades of law as well as consumer thinking about privacy. As a technology, it may well save thousands of lives in applications like predictive medicine, but if it isn’t used carefully, it may prevent thousands from getting loans, for instance, if an underwriting […]

Happy Black Friday, you frugal, frugal people.
It wasn’t quite a secret that Amazon Echo devices were going to be one of the hottest items this year. If you held off your spending until you could get Alexa in your house for cheap, you’re smart — because the entire lineup is on super sale for Black Friday.

The only thing better than a Target run is a Target run during a sale.
We are obsessed with Target and could easily spend hours in the store or on the site just for fun — so Target with slashed Black Friday prices is an IRL dream. Target dates just turned into Target marriage proposals.
