Mobile wallet provider Wipit announced last week that it received an undisclosed amount in Series A funding.

Wipit’s major offering is a mobile wallet service, which, in a combined effort with Boost Mobile, was launched

specifically to serve the underbanked community. Any user with a mobile phone has access to the mobile wallet– even if they don’t have a bank account.

Since Core Innovation Capital focuses on supporting innovations that serve the underbanked community, Wipit is a good candidate for the funding.

The California-based company plans to use this Series A round to expand consumer adoption.

Jingit, the startup that pays users to watch ads online, announced last week that it raised $7 million from undisclosed investors.

This comes after the $3.5 million round the Minnesota-based company raised last year, bringing the total investment amount to over $10 million.

Jingit demoed at FinovateFall 2011, where it announced that U.S. Bank will provide the Jingit debit card that users can swipe to spend the cash they earned watching ads. No word on the status of that trial.
