SelfBank Mobile is leading the industry in the movement to changing the way that people will do their banking and it is on the fast track to moving into the U.S.  Link all of your bank accounts and credit cards to your mobile phone (no matter what brand of phone or which carrier).  Send and receive money via text or WAP.  Make purchases just like you would with a credit or debit card except all you need is your phone.

For those of us that have been patiently waiting for SelfBank Mobile to launch in the U.S. we still have a little more waiting to go.  Don’t fret though, it appears that they are planning to begin the U.S. deployment by the end of the year according to the president of SelfBank Financial Jonathan Anderson.

If you live in Canada then you can already use their services, since the SelfBank corporate offices are located there.  Canada is currently in beta-live phase.  The beta testing is going smooth so far and they are working out the bugs before they open into the larger U.S. market.

As of July 2009 SelfBank Financial has expanded their Montreal offices and opened up new offices in Ecuador and Dallas, TX.  The current expansion strategy includes opening Mexico and the UK as well as more in the U.S.  Along with expanding the SelfBank facilities, the website is new and improved and you can begin to start using some of the new features.

Expected features to be coming soon are iphone and blackberry apps, Facebook and Twitter integration as well as other social networking sites.

Social Commerce is business via social channels.  In order facilitate instant Person to Person transactions in a social setting, financial tools and applications in what we call ‘SelfBank‘ will serve as extensions to your social activities and allow you to empower  your ‘HALO’, your circle of influence.  Your Halo is your social network around you, with you in the center as the ‘Aura’.  Cities and villages of today, cities like Chicago, New York, Toronto, London, Paris, Tokyo, etc,  have been built with what is referred to as ‘Concentric Rings’ and now with the power of the digital age with INTERNET and mobile communications, new digital communities are being built, hence the birth of what we call Social Commerce.

Be The Bank

If you haven’t heard of SelfBank Mobile yet, it is probably because it hasn’t officially launched to the masses. I was recently introduced to the system and I found the idea just amazing. Remember what it was like before debit cards…. we were writing out checks or carrying cash everywhere. Well, SelfBank takes it a step beyond debit, imagine being able to pay anybody with just your phone!

Say you go to a tag sale and want to buy that piece of furniture that caught your eye but you don’t have any cash. Simply take out your phone, hit a couple of buttons and send that payment directly to the person you are buying from through a text message or web enabled phone.

Sound too good to be true? Well, it’s true and since this is still in the beginning (beta) stages the company is promoting it through a “whisper campaign”. In other words, they are only allowing users and merchants who sign up through an affiliate to join in.

This technology is completely secure and no information about your bank is stored on your phone. So there is no danger of someone being able to access your account if you misplace your phone.

I know what you’re thinking, this is gonna cost me, right? Nope, user accounts are free and even free users can make residual commissions off of users that they sign up.
