    TandemMoney, LLC was created in March 2010 and charged with minimizing consumers’ reliance on credit by building the next generation of transaction, savings and credit products. TandemMoney is focused on eliminating the financial barriers that reinforce credit dependency and inhibit savings accumulation. According to the National Foundation of Credit Counseling, only 36 percent of Americans have the savings available to cover a $1000 financial emergency. TandemMoney mechanizes a financial shift for the consumer by initially using credit, a combination of credit and savings, and eventually savings entirely to cover unexpected financial emergencies.
