Costco - Identity Guard app review: stay on top of your account

Costco – Identity Guard

Price: Free

Costco – Identity Guard by Intersections Inc. gives you access to your account no matter where you are.

It should be noted that you'll need to be a Costco - Identity Guard member in order to use the features of this app. The amount of features/benefits you'll be able to use depends on your service level.

This app gives you mobile, on-the-go access to alerts and your own personal account information. You can use the app to set up new accounts or create an application in your name. A change of address alert will be sent to you, as well as certain changes to your credit. You can also find information in the app about the latest news regarding identity theft incidents so hopefully you can prevent it from happening to you. There are also monitoring alerts that are sent to you.

Instead of worrying about your identity theft you can take control and stay on top of all the pertinent changes and information regarding your name. You can even view your current credit score as per TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax.

Even though the information you'll find is expansive and carries a lot of weight you'll quickly notice how user-friendly this app is.

Costco – Identity Guard was released on May 15, 2013 and currently has 10 customer ratings with an average rating of four out of five stars.

This acts as a wonderful companion tool for the Identity Guard membership. I like that you could check out your information anytime, even while on the go, and make sure all was good.

For: iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad with iOS 5.0 or later. Costco is optimized for iPhone 5.
