PROVIDENCE, R.I. - In a tribute to David Letterman, Monitise Americas has put together a top 10 list of reasons everyone should care about mobile banking and payments.
10. Now it’s easier to keep track of how much money you just spent voting for American Idol and Dancing with the Stars.
9. Now you never have to worry about leaving your credit card at the bar after a long night out.
8. You’ve finally got something in common with your teenage kids.
7. You can fill up your gas tank and transfer the $150 for gas to your checking account, all at the same time.
6. The cable company is going to miss those late fees that it used to charge you.
5. It allows you to still text-gossip about the couple at the table next to you while pretending to be balancing your checking account.
4. If your mobile phone is the one thing you would take with you if you were stuck on a deserted island, then at least your bills won’t be late.
3. Tapping your phone at the Starbucks register makes you even more cool than the person before you who ordered a one shot, grande, non-fat, one pump sugar-free vanilla, half decaf, no-whip latte.
2. Presidential candidates McCain and Obama can keep track of how much campaign funds are left while on the road.
1. If you transferred a dollar to your savings account from your phone every day, you’d be a millionaire by the time the Cubs win the World Series.(c) 2008 The Credit Union Journal and SourceMedia, Inc. All Rights Reserved.http://www.cujournal.com http://www.sourcemedia.com
