Bync is an online service that provides deals and coupons by syncing to a user's bank and credit cards to discover the user's favorite stores.[1] The company was founded in 2012 by Ryan Bales. Bync currently syncs with 10,000 different credit card companies, banks and credit unions across the United States and Canada.[2]
Description[edit]
Bync provides its users with personalized deals and coupons by syncing to user's bank and credit cards in order to use purchase history as a way to determine which stores the user shops at the most. Users are sent deal alerts via e-mail when one of their stores has a new deal or coupon.[3]
History[edit]
Bync began as the online personal finance website Budgetable, which provided users with money management tools in addition to deals and coupons based on user spending habits.[4][5] Development for Bync started in October 2012 when founder Ryan Bales chose to focus the product around spending-based deals.[6] Bync publicly launched on 3 January 2013.[7]
