The Bankwatch

Caught  a few of the participants this morning and as we wait for the next few rapid fire presentations, some highlights.  Note there are 350 in the audience:

Lending Club:

• highlighted some lender functionality, paricularly in the secondary market
• showed the ability of lenders to compare their returns to other lenders

Tempo Debit Card;

• decoupled debit card
• sign up online, with 90% approval success
• offers rewards on your debit card
• aim to to be the MBNA of debit cards

Wesabe:

• always my favourite – Gabe showed off the new web interface
• highlighted accounts, and discussions
• ability to dig deeper aggregate certain cards and compare expense categories on those cards
• the iphone app which is significnatly more powerful than the Mint app.  Allows sign up to Wesabe, and editing of expenses though the app
