Manilla Goes Mobile and Adds Digital Accounts

Manilla Launches Free iOS and Android Apps and Now Offers Access to Over 1,200 Accounts, Including Daily Deal Sites and Entertainment Subscriptions

NEW YORK, NY and SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Sep 14, 2011) - Manilla, the free personal account management service, unveiled today its first edition of mobile apps for iOS and Android platforms, providing customers with another element of convenience to stay organized. Manilla has also added new accounts including Netflix and popular daily deal sites like Groupon and LivingSocial to provide customers with the option to track entertainment subscriptions and time-sensitive coupons.

"With the addition of mobile apps and the management of everyone's favorite digital services, Manilla now offers even more resources for consumers to organize their lives and save time," said Manilla CEO George Kliavkoff. "Because Manilla automatically sends you helpful reminders, we aim to help our customers never miss a bill payment, never let valuable coupons expire and never forget to redeem travel points."

Starting today, users can download Manilla's free mobile apps from the Apple App Store and the Android Market. The mobile apps allow Manilla customers to manage accounts and receive reminders to pay bills while on the go. Anyone can create a Manilla account from the mobile apps and start relying on it for bill and other account reminders. Additional mobile features include the ability to add service providers as well as view bills, statements and account data.

Manilla allows users to manage accounts that include finance, household/bills, magazine subscriptions and travel rewards programs. As of today, Manilla adds the ability to manage digital accounts including online entertainment subscription services and daily deal sites. Groupon and LivingSocial coupons will automatically be delivered and stored in Manilla, and Manilla customers will receive reminders about upcoming coupon expiration dates that are otherwise hard to track. Manilla users now also have access to their Netflix accounts, allowing them to easily monitor their queues and subscriptions.

"Often the trickiest part of using daily deal coupons from Groupon, LivingSocial and others, is remembering to use them," said Farnoosh Torabi, personal finance expert and financial editor for Manilla. "We're only human and our lives are only getting busier. Manilla understands that and ensures we'll never forget to enjoy our coupons and save money."

Manilla gives consumers access to more than 1,200 accounts within the categories of finance, household/bills, subscriptions and travel rewards programs. It takes just minutes to personalize and add to a Manilla account, allowing for simple account management.
