Score, a unique dating app that matched users based on their credit scores, has shut down after six months. The app was launched by Neon Money Club, a financial literacy company, to raise awareness about credit health and financial wellness. Despite receiving criticism for being classist, the app gained popularity and gathered interesting data on the current dating scene.
The data revealed that millennial men had an average credit score 11% higher than women, highlighting the economic gender gap. However, Generation Z users showed a smaller gap, with men having only a 3% higher credit score than women. The app’s founder, Luke Bailey, hopes that policymakers will take note of this data and work to close the economic gender gap.
Neon Money Club will focus on its other projects, including building experiences around its AMEX card, Time investing account, and a new wellness studio. The company aims to continue promoting financial literacy and wellness through innovative and engaging content.
