FinovateSpring 2009 / MoBank
Presenter Profile:
How they describe themselves: MoBank has developed what is recognised to be amongst the fastest, easiest to use, and most secure systems for mobile commerce and money management with a product launch on the Apple iPhone in March 2009. MoBank is integrated with twenty major online banks and a similar number of top‐tier ecommerce retailers.
What they think makes them better: MoBank ‘Convenient Transactions’ aggregates the whole of the e-commerce web and presents content in a format which is simple-to-use and visually compelling on a smartphone. Our technologies (patent pending) make mobile payments and money management a sinch. In short, MoBank is leading the world in bringing impulsive consumers and relevant retailers together to play all along commerce’s new frontier!
