According to Credit Karma data, over one million members accessed their accounts during nighttime hours—between midnight and 6 am—over the past six months. Additionally, 9% of these users reviewed their credit scores late at night.
Akansha Nath, who leads international operations at Intuit Credit Karma, stated: "When feeling exhausted, it's common to lose control over spending and find impulsive purchases more alluring. Establishing strict budget constraints, setting up automatic bill payments, and avoiding quick-buy shopping applications can prevent excessive expenditures."
