About Us
The evolution of the mobile phone has truly eclipsed all other technology we have witnessed. The ubiquity of
the mobile phone, like the internet itself, opens up the possibilities for even more intriguing transformations
in other sectors of our economy, the most important being the means of commerce itself. mFunds is at the heart
of that transformation and offers a unique opportunity to marry the mobile phone and cash in a way that goes far
beyond just logging into your bank account or prepaid debit card from a different window.
mFunds takes the mobile commerce equation the next step. By understanding that a transaction for a co-pay with a
healthcare provider is different from sending money to a friend, the suite of services empowered by mFunds
Technology Platform go well beyond moving money to engaging the customer in real time.
The mFunds’ objective is to efficiently link people to their money through their mobile device. The mFunds product
set provides the tools to meet the financial needs of those banked or unbanked. Its money movement functionality can
be used as a convenient way to send money to friends and family as well as foster the creation of capital economies
and provide people with safe avenues to securely purchase any product, anywhere, and anytime.
mFunds LLC, based in Bellevue, Washington, was established to leverage technology borne out of deep insight of wireless
and prepaid debit card executives that understand the consumer experience. The combination of our forward thinking
development team combined with our seasoned experience in payment processing space, positions us to bring truly novel
solutions to the mobile payment world.
We have strategically aligned ourselves with a set of companies to control the entire value chain (processor, bank,
card program manager, loyalty points management system) creating a disruptive technology in the area of international remittance.
