OurCrowd portfolio company BillGuard was listed by Forbes as one of ’15 Fintech Startups To Watch In 2015′. BillGuard identifies fraud and “grey” charges, which cost consumers over $25B annually, by analyzing crowdsourcing transaction data from its millions-strong user base. BillGuard began in 2010 as a service to alert users to hidden fees charged by their banks and credit card issuers. The company earned $3 million of funding on the strength of that product.
