Financial information services company Experian has launched a free savings scan tool to help users identify new savings opportunities. According to a national consumer survey conducted by Experian, 51% of respondents have identified saving money in 2024 as their primary resolution.

In this context, Experian has introduced a complimentary savings scan, designed to pinpoint potential savings opportunities related to eligible recurring bills and paid subscriptions. To use the Experian savings scan, individuals must enrol in a free or paid Experian membership and link their bank and credit card accounts, allowing Experian to identify qualifying bill payments and subscriptions. The feature promptly presents potential savings options to Experian members.

In addition to the savings scan, Experian members, whether free or paid, gain access to various financial resources such as the Experian Boost feature, an auto insurance shopping service, credit card marketplace, credit education, and more. For those enrolled in an eligible Premium membership, Experian offers an easy way to secure potential savings. In essence, Experian experts handle negotiations with eligible providers to obtain lower costs and cancel unwanted subscriptions.

In the company press release, officials from Experian emphasised the convenience of the free savings scan, as well as its role in offering a convenient way for consumers to understand where they can potentially lower their bills and keep tabs on paid subscriptions. They also highlighted the broader financial benefits, such as debt reduction and emergency fund allocation, that arise from cutting expenses.
