Slava Money

Hi, I am Slava. Welcome to the blog “Slava Money”. I moved to the US a few years ago. At the very beginning during my first couple of years I’ve found that banks work differently from my home country. That is why I’ve decided to write down some life hacks and what I’ve found over the recent years. I hope it is going to be helpful for you.

On Slava Money you can find reviews of banks, reviews of loans, credit cards and debit cards. I cover other bank related topics as well.

The label “debit” or “credit” makes it easy to say if the card is credit or debit one. Credit card has revolving credit account, debit card or reloadable card has checking account.

Slava Money has many answers to popular questions about personal finance. I’ve found that often people want to find a something very simple like what is the MM and YY on a debit card. When younger folks fill application forms they want to know what is address line 1 and address line 2. It may sound like a silly question for some, while a very confusing one for others. Another question that many people want to know is what is Zelle and how does it work?

Here is the list of such questions.
