Wesabe introduce labs and cutback tools
Wesabe just keep the good stuff coming – ok I admit I am a fan but they are worth it. in addition to the recent labs the latest is a tool to evaluate your monthly recurring expenses, and decide which you really require to maintain. Its hard to imagine anyone would not benefit by locating at least one thing that is not offerring value yet they are paying it monthly.
Cutback Tool |Wesabe blog
several beta testers reported charges of $14.95 for freecreditreport.com, a credit monitoring service they understandably thought was actually free (let’s see…wouldn’t $15amonthcreditreport.com be a more honest name?).

Sure enough, WaMu has been dinging my savings account for the last six months. I had transferred money out of the account during the summer and haven’t touched the account since, so I wasn’t checking my statement. Ends up my account balance of $295 was below the “account minimum” of $300 (which I didn’t know about), so every month, I’ve been paying a fee. I know I should be more of a fine-print reader, but since I’m not, I’m sure glad the Cutback Tool caught this for me.
PS … every bank ought out to have a bank/labs feature – what possible harm and imagine the potential?
Thanks, Colin. The response to this has been huge, more than we expected even. I’m really glad you like the feature, too.
