And there's nothing I can do about it. So, Monitise Americas, LLC, the mobile banking and payments service provider, and Metavante, a provider of banking and payments technology, announced the launch of Monitise Americas mobile financial services in the United States. Sounds good, if you have a few extra dollars in the bank.

The service delivers a highly secure connection to the nation’s leading financial institutions, and allows financial institutions of all sizes to offer mobile financial services to their customers without significant investment in new technology. Initial launch partners include Harvard Employees Credit Union, North Jersey Community Bank, Sutton Bank and Sutton Bank’s Greenlink Payment division.

In common with Monitise Americas model of delivering mobile financial services to financial institutions using their existing payments processor relationships, its initial launch partners will use their connections to the NYCE Payments Network in order to deliver the new service to their customers. If you happen to be one of those, please send us an email and share your experience with the mobile banking service. I won't be having any banking experiences soon, for I am too broke. But at least I got some charm left, right?
