Hi Everyone!
New to the forum, but have been 'lurking' in the Bitcoin world since last summer, as we have been trying to educate ourselves about this fascinating phenomenon.
Our parent company,
http://www.UseMyServices.com, is a pioneer in the 'real time' bank payments space. We launched in 2002, amid huge skepticism, but survived anyway(!). Our proprietary technology allows consumers to pay for online goods and services directly from their bank accounts - and unlike ACH or ECheck - we actually 'seize' the funds immediately, so the merchants know that the funds are good at the time of the authorization - not 3 to 5 days later.
Our services are currently available for consumers in 18 countries, and merchants around the world.
We are preparing to launch our new platform,
http://www.UseMyCoins.com, very shortly, with the intention of providing new funding options for Bitcoin purchases, through a few key Bitcoin payment processors. We will not be providing wallet services or direct merchant services, but rather will be the 'backbone' platform to these processing partners.
As a licensed MSB in Canada, with more than 10 years in high risk processing and alternative payments, we hope to become a trusted partner in the Bitcoin community, and help it grow and prosper around the world!
We have also just launched a new crowdfunding project (we have always been entirely self-funded!) at
http://www.indiegogo.com/usemycoins. All funds are to be used for adding additional countries to our platform, as it is a very expensive process.
We would appreciate any and all support offered - especially in helping to spread the word - your Tweets and Likes are huge right now!
