Wallaby for Samsung Gear™ Watch Offers Shoppers At-a-Glance Credit Card Reward Recommendations

PASADENA, Calif., July 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Wallaby®, the leader in mobile and web-based credit card optimization solutions, today announced the launch of Wallaby for Samsung Gear 2 wearable devices. The app is the first to provide real-time financial decision-making on the Samsung Gear 2, the recently-launched device that consumers wear on their wrists.

Wallaby for Samsung Gear is the company's third wearable app, following the release of Pay With Wallaby for Google Glass and Wallaby for Pebble earlier in 2014. In addition to helping users optimize their credit card rewards, Wallaby for Gear also gives users a simple way to check their credit card balances to help them manage their personal finances.

"The Samsung Gear is a compelling device with an excellent interface that is well suited to providing users smart financial information that helps them to save money and avoid fees," said Matthew Goldman, Founder and CEO of Wallaby Financial.  "Having at-a-glance access to credit card suggestions when making a purchase is a natural fit across all types of wearable devices. Samsung has an impressive record in launching consumer-focused products that are competitively priced and attractively designed. The Samsung Gear will be a perfect wearable complement and platform for the Wallaby App."

Consumers save money and earn more rewards through Wallaby's apps and online solutions. Wallaby for Samsung Gear provides unbiased recommendations based on Wallaby's industry-leading algorithms and database of credit card promotions and rewards intelligence.

After installing Wallaby for Samsung Gear, users launch the app to see the best card by store category or click through to a list of nearby stores. Users can also see their current credit card balance, balance limit, and credit utilization, to ensure they stay on top of their finances on the go. Wallaby for Samsung Gear is free and requires a Wallaby account. To install Wallaby for Samsung Gear, users can visit https://www.walla.by/gear.
