Saved Account Manager feature from Chase (New?)

[Curious_George2]

I got an email from Chase today telling me about a feature on their website and mobile app called "Saved Account Manager." I haven't noticed it before, but I can't quite tell if it's new. Anyway, it's pretty slick. It tells me which businesses and mobile wallets I have saved my Chase card info on. That is something I have always done a poor job of tracking so I'm happy they are picking up my slack. 

I find this info helpful in two specific scenarios: when I want to shift my spending to or from a particular card; and when a card gets a new number (due to loss, theft, fraud or otherwise) and I want to update its info with vendors to ensure continuity of subscriptions/service.

I'm not aware of any other issuers that have this feature. Is it a Chase original? If so, kudos to Chase.

It's new, I received email a couple days ago. It tracks where your cards are saved on websites. Allowing the bank more data collection on you.

Fair point re them tracking us, but I assume that's not new. Presumably they already had all this info (and much more). What seems new is that they are now revealing this piece of it to us. I view this feature as neutral from a privacy perspective. Do you see it differently?

On top of my head, Discover and US Bank have a link for recurring charges. 

Chase is not inovating here, they are catching up.

I'm sure they had info already. Websites can automatically update those cards when they receive new numbers, or exp dates.

Like @Remedios pointed out, some other lenders have had this. I try not to save cards whenever possible, but obviously can't avoid on subscriptions, even if paying with GC.

It's also "inaccurate" in a way.

I've paid my cable bill with Freedom for the past 3 months, card is not saved, but Xfinity is listed. 

Same with power bill and a few others. 

Those are listed as "Business with your card info", so they might as well list everyone, since if you're buying, you gotta enter them numbers. 

It's also listing medical provider after I paid a couple of bills, and they specifically exclude the ability to save the card. 

Subscriptions are listed with "Repeating" annotation, and they appear accurate.
