According to Web reports, WalletHub initially positioned itself as a “personal finance social network” with a focus on reviews for financial advisors.[2][8][9]

WalletHub offers free consumer tools,[10][11][12] such as its WalletLiteracy Quiz[13][14] and its Financial Fitness Tool, which provides users with credit reports, scores and monitoring.[15][16] The company also successfully overcame a public trademark dispute with Major League Baseball, brought on behalf of the Washington Nationals and Chicago Cubs.[17][18]
