Personal finance news and information site Nerdwallet has raised $64 million in outside funding, reports Jonathan Shieber of TechCrunch.
Shieber writes, “Last year, 30 million people used NerdWallet to get financial advice on a range of subjects. The company offers comparison shopping tools on financial products including: healthcare; mortgages; life insurance; banking; credit cards; financial services and wealth management; small business tools, and college loans.
