More than half of consumers say saving money is
their top financial resolution in the New Year, according to an
Experian survey
With the holiday season in the rearview mirror, many consumers
are assessing their finances and making money moves to reach their
financial goals. Saving money in 2024 is the top resolution for 51
percent of respondentsi, according to an Experian national consumer
survey. As part of its continuing innovation to meet the financial
needs of consumers, Experian has launched a free savings scanii
that identifies opportunities to save on eligible recurring bills
and paid subscriptions.
A savvy way to slash costs
To run their Experian savings scan, consumers must be enrolled
in a free or paid Experian membership and connect their bank and
credit card accounts so that Experian can identify eligible bill
payments and paid subscriptions. The feature presents potential
savings opportunities to Experian members in minutes.
In addition to the benefit of seeing possible cost-savings with
the savings scan, Experian free and paid members gain access to
many other financial resources, including the Experian Boost®iii
feature, an auto insurance shopping service, credit card
marketplace, credit education, and more.
If consumers would like to take advantage of securing the
potential savings hassle-free, they will need to be enrolled in an
eligible paid Premium membership, and Experian experts will handle
negotiating lower costs with eligible providers. Experian will also
cancel unwanted subscriptions, which are often-overlooked, as 42
percentiv of consumers say they forget how much they shell out for
subscriptions they don’t use.
“There are many ways to find cost savings, including assessing
recurring bills and securing better terms and rates. With the free
savings scan, we have created a convenient way for consumers to
understand where they can potentially lower their bills and keep
tabs on paid subscriptions,” said Rod Griffin, senior director of
Public Education and Advocacy. "Cutting expenses opens up
possibilities for enhancing your financial health, whether it's
allocating your budget to pay down debt - crucial for healthy
credit scores - or setting aside funds for unexpected expenses and
emergencies."
Now more than ever consumers are looking for ways to maximize
their dollars. In fact, the Experian survey found that saving money
earned the top spot as a New Year’s goal for the first time in five
years, while a third of respondents aim to create a budget and 27
percent want to pay off a credit card entirely. To learn more about
