MoneyGuard is a research concept — not a commercial product. A credit card protection concept. Not yet a regulated financial product.
TalaStar Smart MoneyGuard™
Credit Card
A next-generation fintech concept. Move from tracking spending to controlling financial commitments before they happen.
Designed with cognitive accessibility at its core — for people who forget subscriptions, those with early-stage dementia or Alzheimer's, and anyone who wants predictive protection, not reactive alerts.

Subscription Guardian
A feature we believe represents a significant advancement in consumer fintech. MoneyGuard™ is designed to automatically detect when you start a free trial, count down to the renewal date, and prompt you — before any charge hits your card.
- Forgotten subscriptions draining your account
- Credit utilisation creep from stacking services
- Silent renewals you never approved
// Smart Subscription Algorithm
IF merchant ∈ known_subscription_database
AND first_charge = £0 OR discounted
THEN mark as "trial"
Start countdown = trial_duration_estimate
BEFORE renewal:
→ Push notification:
"This will renew for £X. Continue?"
IF user selects "No":
→ Block merchant OR cancel recurring
→ Optionally: create virtual card expiry
Caregiver Mode for Cognitive Accessibility
Built from the ground up for people with dementia, early-stage Alzheimer's, or anyone who needs simplified financial management. A trusted caregiver can monitor and protect without removing the user's independence.
Trusted Caregiver Access
Designated family member or carer can monitor transactions and set limits
Simplified Large-Text UI
High-contrast, large buttons, clear icons — no cognitive overload
Spending Safeguards
Daily/weekly limits, blocked categories, and merchant restrictions
Dual Alert System
Both user and caregiver receive transaction notifications simultaneously
Scam Protection
AI detects unusual patterns and alerts caregiver before authorising
Gentle Reminders
Friendly notifications about upcoming bills and subscription renewals
