Turn safe driving into savings.

Auto insurance is a necessity for drivers, but it can be expensive. In fact, the average annual cost of car insurance in the United States is over $2000. That’s a lot of money to be spending on something that you hope you never have to use.

There are a number of factors that can affect the cost of auto insurance, including your age, driving record, and the make and model of your car. But one of the largest factors is your insurance score. Your insurance score is a number that insurers use to assess your risk of being involved in an accident. The higher your score, the lower your insurance premiums could be.

But how do you improve your score? Telematics is a growing trend that car insurers are using. Telematics refers to data about your driving habits, such as your speed, braking, and acceleration. This data can be used to give insurers a more accurate picture of your risk, and it can lead to lower insurance premiums for safe drivers.

How Driver Score by MoneyLion Can Help

Driver Score is a telematics program we offer that can help you save money on your car insurance. Driver Score uses your phone’s GPS to track your driving habits and generate a score based on factors such as your speed, braking, and acceleration. The higher your score, the more likely you are to qualify for a discount on your insurance.

Driver Score

Here are some other major perks:

  • Driver Score is completely free to use, so there’s no risk in trying it out. 
  • Driver Score can also help you become a safer driver. By tracking your driving habits, Driver Score can identify areas where you can improve, such as your speed control or your braking. This feedback can help you make changes to your driving habits and become a safer driver on the road.

As an added bonus, you’ll earn achievements for hitting certain milestones — so you can feel good about your safe driving.

Achievements

If you’re looking for ways to save money on your car insurance, Driver Score by MoneyLion is a great option. Driver Score is free to use, and it can help you improve your driving habits and get lower insurance premiums.

Round Ups are an easy way to put your investing on autopilot https://www.moneylion.com/learn/round-ups-are-an-easy-way-to-put-your-investing-on-autopilot/ Wed, 16 Mar 2022 08:00:00 +0000 https://www.moneylion.com/?p=15138 Continued]]> Just think how much money you’d likely have if you’d collected all of the loose change over the years for all of the things you buy daily. All of the coffees, grocery store runs, gas tank fill-ups — whatever. You’d probably have a pretty good amount of money saved up. What if you could start taking all that loose change and invest it automatically? Well, you can. That’s the idea behind Round Ups. Round Ups are an easy way to make investing an automatic habit. It lets you invest small amounts of money over time, without even thinking about it, which can help you build wealth. We call that dollar cost averaging.

Let’s face it. Building a portfolio and building wealth tends to be a slow, long-term project that happens over years — not over days and weeks. Having the discipline to contribute to an investment portfolio regularly over time is one of your most important jobs as an investor, but it sure can be a challenge. That’s where Round Ups come in.

Here’s how it works

Let’s say you use your debit card to pick up a morning coffee that costs $2.50. When you activate Round Ups, the transaction gets rounded up to $3 and the extra $.50 goes into your MoneyLion Investment Account. With Round Ups, this happens automatically every time you make a qualifying purchase. Keep reading for tips on how you can make Round Ups work for you at MoneyLion — using any credit or debit card.

Why you should Round Up

One of the biggest hurdles to investing can be our own behavior. The natural tendency to procrastinate or overreact to market movements and headlines can do significant harm to portfolios over time. There are three ways Round Ups can help investors stay disciplined and consistent over time:

  1. Automating contributions helps you stay invested, even in challenging times.

The past two years, which experienced the COVID-19 pandemic market crash and recession, have been a great example of this. In hindsight, the market pullback was brief and the S&P 500 ended the year with a strong 18% total return. In 2021, the stock market provided investors with another 18% gain [as of 7/14/2021] despite significant uncertainty along the way. Those who stayed invested despite scary headlines and day-to-day swings avoided selling when prices were down.

Note that, for the past 30 years, even when downward swings have been large, in most years the S&P has ended in positive territory. Be aware that past performance is no guarantee of future results. Sources: Clearnomics, Standard & Poor’s [as of July 14, 2021].

  1. Round Ups are a great way to take the emotions out of investing.

Round Ups lets you invest frequently and consistently without having to consider the price of an investment. Regularly investing can be one of the biggest factors of investment success over time. This approach is completely opposite of what you typically hear other people talk about – buying investments, like stock, by timing the market. This is a bad approach because NO ONE can predict the markets, and because of human nature, you’ll likely make some bad investment decisions (instead of buying low and selling high, you’ll likely end up doing the opposite). Round Ups can help you remove the guesswork by investing consistently over time, with the understanding that sometimes when you buy prices will be higher but other times prices will be lower.

Are Round Ups right for you?

Discover MoneyLion Round Ups — and start rounding up with every swipe. At MoneyLion, you can use Round Ups with any credit or debit card two ways to save for a rainy day with a MoneyLion Investment Account. Round up everyday purchases to set aside a little extra for your life goals, dream vacay, house down payment, or whatever matters most to you.

Crypto Round Ups

If you are cryptocurious, Round Ups is also available with a MoneyLion Crypto Account powered by Zero Hash. Round up your spare change to purchase Bitcoin. Start small and build with confidence over time.

Put your Round Ups in either an economical, professionally managed MoneyLion Investment Account or buy Bitcoin — whatever works best for you. Now Round Ups come with the freedom to use any existing debit or credit card. There was never a better time to Round Up and build towards the future!

New to Round Ups? Here’s how they work.

Imagine how much money you’d likely have if you’d collected all of the spare change over the years for all of the things you buy daily.

Four tips to create an awesome $RoarTag https://www.moneylion.com/learn/creating-your-roartag-moneylion/ Mon, 07 Feb 2022 22:08:31 +0000 https://www.moneylion.com/?p=18654 Continued]]> Create your own $RoarTag so you can personalize your profile, invite friends to earn bonuses, and enter social giveaways! 

What is $RoarTag?  

It’s a unique way to express yourself, and it’s a nice alternative to using your phone number and email. 

Be sure to create your $RoarTag before it’s taken.

What should my $RoarTag be? 

Here are four tips to help you create a unique tag and join the MoneyLion Pride. 

Make it fun.

Create something that represents you in an interesting way. What do you love? What are you into? Are you a drummer, puppeteer, avid BBQ pitmaster? Make your $RoarTag be a representation of your personality. 

Examples: $DrummerBoy2112, $NerdOfTheRings, $GolfDaddy

Use a nickname.

Growing up, many of us have been given different terms of endearment from friends, family, and co-workers. For myself, I have been called Lurch, DaddyLongLegs, ChuckyB, and Marmaduke. Yes, I am tall. Yes, I am a goofball. 

Examples: $Missy123, $ClymeTime99, UncleCrocodile

What inspires you? 

Make your $RoarTag an affirmation. Something that will motivate you and help you be the best version of yourself. 

Examples: $BossBrendan, $AwakenTheGiant, $MoneyMovesMark 

Use your sign 

Celebrate your inner hippy. If you are into astrology and feel that it represents you as a person, it can inspire a cool tag that reflects your personality. 

Example: $FunkSoulGemini, $CancerianQueen, $LovelyLeo

Invite a friend to join the Pride using your very own $RoarTag, and you can each get up to $55!

One team. One dream. 

Don’t miss out on our latest referral program! From now until February 28, 2022, you and your friend will each get a $5 bonus when they open a RoarMoney account and a $50 bonus when they set up and receive a qualifying recurring direct deposit into their RoarMoney account within the first 60 days of enrolling. 

How to refer a friend, you ask?
First, go to your account profile menu, customize your $RoarTag, and share it on social or send to your friends.

When:You each get:
Your friend opens a RoarMoney accounta $5 bonus in your RoarMoney accounts
Your friend sets up and receives a qualifying recurring direct deposit to that RoarMoney account within 60 days of opening the accounta $50 bonus in your RoarMoney accounts

There’s no limit to how many friends you can invite, so the louder you roar, the more bonuses you’ll get!

Our goal as a company is to make 99% of all reviews be 5 star reviews, so we are only just getting started. We also know that we can never please everyone but we will always give it our all.

Below are our favorite 5 Star Reviews

  1. Google Play, MoneyLion Inc.★★★★★
    “I don’t know why I see so many negative reviews. Money lion gives me the biggest cash advance out of all the apps I’ve tried. $200!!! It started at 50 I think and has consistently been going up. The credit builder tool is great and my card was locked once because it was protecting me from fraudulent activity so that just shows me that they are secure as well as reliable. This is the best banking app and cash advance that nobody knows about!” by Tom Auman for v7.23.0 (16777215) –  Android 9.0, Nokia 3.1 a (eag) · Read this review on Google Play.

2. MoneyLion has been a huge help! “MoneyLion has been a huge help with the time between paychecks. It’s been very hard since I had lost one of my 2 jobs due to the pandemic, so this has helped to relieve the struggle a little bit.”★★★★★ Verified Read the review on Trustpilot

3. One word “One word: Helpful. Came in clutch and very customer friendly.  Nothing deceiving and very straight forward. Best app out there” ★★★★★ Verified – Read the review on Trustpilot


4. Google Play, MoneyLion Inc.★★★★☆ → ★★★★★  (Updated)
“This is my third updated rating. I now feel this app and company merit 5 stars. It’s not the only one I use for cash advances, but it’s the only one that lets me even if my balance is negative. That right there makes the fees for getting money instantly deposited into your account WELL worth it. I can also make use of their loan, which subsequently is designed to contribute positively to my credit score. And I’ve been with this app for a few years, and they have improved remarkably, tenfold.” by Kell Dubs for v7.19.0 (16777215) –  Android 8.1, Lg it Click here to read the review on Google Play.
