The time has come when traveling with a wallet isn’t a necessity, and the only item you need on your person is a easy mobile device. Well, almost.
Mobibucks has created a free and secure payment solution that lets users pay using a cell phone and a 4 digit PIN code. How does it work?
- Register on the internet using your cell phone number
- Add money to your account and manage all account information online.
- Make your buy at a participating Mobibucks store using your 4 digit PIN and get confirmation through an SMS message.
Sounds like a nice and secure solution for always having money on your person and without having to carry all that change around, but how many stores are participating in Mobibucks? There are currently 23 stores around the U.S. offering this very special payment system, ranging from cafes, restaurants and video rental stores. If this Mountain View California based service catches on and is offered in a lot more locations over the next tiny while, it’s going to be big.
