PB79: Credit Card Perks Without Credit Card Debt ft Liran Amrany

Jan 23, 2018

We got 99 problems but a credit ain't one. We originally met Liran Amrany at FinCon2017, where we learned he is the co-founder and CEO of Debitize, a personal finance application that helps consumers use credit cards responsibly. How does it work? Debitize automatically helps customers set aside funds to cover their credit card purchases like a debit card while still allowing users to access the benefits, protections, and perks of their credit cards. Before founding the tool, he spent 9 years developing derivative products for The Man at J.P. Morgan. On this show, we discuss his plot for financial world domination and much more, including:

  • Liran's background and what inspired him to leave the 9 to 5 to pursue his own company
  • His journey from mild-mannered employee to CEO of his own entrepreneurial start-up despite never having had direct management experience before leaving the day job
  • The courage needed to believe in yourself as you move from corporate worker to self-employment, managing a team, and meeting investor expectations
  • Debitize: reducing the fears many have of credit card use while giving you all the pros (and still protects you from yourself by not allowing you to overdraft your account)
