Briefly describe this site's objectives and how it has met those objectives (up to 125 words):

Our site objectives: 1) provide unbiased credit & debt education, 2) help new visitors understand the importance of staying on top of their credit and how Credit Sesame’s free tools can help, 3) provide existing users with a complete view of their credit and debt, including recommendations on how to save money on their existing debt or browse an unbiased selection of financial services (mortgages, credit cards, savings accounts, CDs, auto insurance, etc.) to help them make the right choice for their financial future. Objectives have been met through user-centric research, testing, content development, launching new services.
