Online Resource Designed to Help Consumers Do More with Their
Money Every Day
RIVERWOODS, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 10, 2008--Discover
Financial Services (NYSE: DFS) today announced the launch of Discover
EDGE, an online resource dedicated to helping consumers become more
savvy when it comes to managing their time and money. Designed to help
Discover Cardmembers stay in control of their finances, Discover EDGE
provides consumers with everyday financial advice to help them get
ahead - and stay there.
Discover EDGE content is written by an independent team of
experts, led by nationally-syndicated columnist and best-selling
author Ilyce Glink. Consumers will find helpful articles covering a
variety of topics, including shopping, travel, finance, home,
technology, book reviews and more. They also will find regular
features such as Ask Ilyce - an insightful Q&A in which consumers
receive answers to questions they submit regarding their own personal
finances.
Consumers will benefit from fresh, seasonal content and useful
tips to help them make their money go further. Discover EDGE also
features content on basic financial and credit literacy, arming
consumers with the information they need to make wise credit
decisions. As with all Discover EDGE content, this information is
delivered in a way that's simple, relevant and easy to understand.
"Providing Discover EDGE is yet another example of how Discover
Card helps people stay in control and do more with their money every
day," said Matt Sloan, vice president of Portfolio Marketing at
Discover Financial Services. "We believe this will be a powerful
resource to which consumers can refer for sound financial advice on
topics that are important to them."
Discover EDGE is part of the company's commitment to providing
products and services that put cardmembers in control of their
spending and help them manage their finances. Discover Card also
offers:
- Paydown Planner and Purchase Planner, two newly-launched,
online financial tools designed to help cardmembers better
manage their credit and empower them to make smart financial
decisions.
- Credit ScoreTracker, which helps cardmembers understand and
monitor their credit scores to make better financial
decisions.
- Timely email reminders that help cardmembers keep track of
their spending, make payments on time, and stay safely within
their credit line.
- The Discover Motiva Card, which rewards cardmembers for good
credit management if they make six on-time payments in a row.
