RentShare Allows All Renters to Pay Rent Online, Without Landlord Involvement




New York, NY (PRWEB) June 29, 2012
RentShare, a new company on the NYC startup scene, recently released a new update to their website -- a service that allows users to conveniently pay rent onlineto any landlord in the United States.
Whether or not your landlord accepts online payment, RentShare provides the option to either individually or -- if you have roommates – collectively make rent payments online using a credit or debit card. Once paid through the site, RentShare will combine each roommate’s payment and send a single check on the user’s behalf to the landlord, on time and without the hassle of writing and mailing multiple checks.
"For most of us, rent is the most annoying monthly bill we have to pay, mainly because it hasn't yet made it out of the 20th century. We set out to simplify the process and make RentShare the easiest way to pay rent, plain and simple. With our latest release, we’re proud to say we’ve been able to do just that, but this is only the beginning," said RentShare co-founder, Ian Halpern.
Users can also opt-in for auto-pay options that, once linked to a bank account or credit card, will allow users to pay their rent automatically each month. RentShare’s reminder capabilities will also alert users of upcoming due dates in order to avoid late payments.
ABOUT RENTSHARE:
RentShare.com is the easiest way to pay rent online and split expenses with roommates. Through RentShare, any renter in the United States can now pay rent with a credit card, debit card, or checking account – easily and online.
RentShare is headquartered in New York, NY and can be contacted at info(at)rentshare(dot)com.

Overland Park, KS (PRWEB) June 29, 2012
TopConsumerReviews.com has released their ratings for the best Debit Cards available today.
Debit cards are a great way to pay for purchases direct from an account without being charged interest, typical of a credit card. A debit card can accept employer and government direct deposits to expedite the receipt and availability of funds for spending. Debit cards may be utilized wherever Visa and Mastercards are accepted. People can feel more confident with responsible debit card spending, using only those funds that are available and not making purchases on credit.
How to choose the right debit card? Debit card choices are not limited to local banks. With direct deposit capability a debit card can be utilized from a number of different banks across the nation. There are a number of debit cards available that compete hard for the customers business. When looking for a debit card, consider the policies, available perks, customer service and convenience. Locate independent reviews of debit card offers to help make the best decision.
“Debit cards allow you to utilize your cash without the risk of carrying around a stack of bills in your wallet,” explained Brian Dolezal, of TopConsumerReviews.com, LLC. “Debit cards also enforce responsible spending and make sure you don't make large purchases on credit that you really can't afford. With today's technology, your debit card options are not limited only to the local banks in your area. Instead, you can consider nationwide debit cards and find the best perks and overall value that work well with your spending.”

It is widely believed that 2012 will prove to be the tipping point year for NFC mobile payments entering into the mainstream, alongside debit and credit cards. Industry experts interviewed for M for Mobile’s Near Field Communication Payments Report, expect NFC mobile penetration to grow 1400% in five years between 2015-2020.

In a consumer survey with over 3,000 participants from the UK and US, 37% of respondents said they need further information about NFC technology before they use it. Critically, more than half of consumers would transfer their main banking to an NFC Payments account if there was a financial incentive in the form of discounts.
The agreement from banks and credit card providers to raise the payment threshold from £15 to £20 from 1 June 2012 reinforces the findings from MforMobile’s executive research panel that the majority expect to see increased investment in NFC mobile provision from 2012 onwards, highlighting that we’re on the cusp of moving from niche to mainstream in the next 18 months.

Consumer Perception
Two thirds of consumers surveyed would adopt NFC mobile payments if they were better informed about the uses of the technology, alongside having the opportunity to do so. Importantly to note, well over half of the surveyed consumers would transfer their main banking to an NFC Payments account if there was a financial incentive in the form of discounts or rewards.
Being the first of its kind to address such a comprehensive perspective from the consumer, the report also analyses the consumer viewpoints on security concerns, mobile wallet adoption and the how consumers feel regarding managing their money, to give a clear directive on strategies for moving forward and encouraging mass adoption.

Market Overview
Apple’s influence continues to drive mobile development, with 75% of industry executives interviewed indicating that the launch of a rumoured NFC capable iPhone will cause a surge in uptake. However, there have already been pockets of NFC activity worldwide, with the ripest areas for NFC uptake being those with youthful, web savvy populations such as Turkey and Poland.
The report’s author not only walks a direct path through the levels of adoption at present, but also looks at emerging markets for NFC in developing countries such as Latin America, Middle East and Africa.
Joost Reijnen, Product Manager Mobile Solutions, Bell ID commented that “Although several new services like Square's 'cardcase' and the introduction of biometrics on mobiles may already have shown us what awaits after the mass adoption of NFC on mobile phones, today's emerging NFC and Secure Element ecosystems are already far more complex than the usual reports and news, may make you think it to be. Finally a report that touches beyond the surface and is able to […] help you to understand the dynamics, possibilities, separates fact from fiction, and really focus on what we all want to focus on: NFC payments”.
M for Mobile’s global report also examines how this diverse landscape has come to be, and whether industry concerns that it is too fragmented will have a bearing on its future potential. It presents the latest business intelligence, demonstrates a clear call to action from the target audience and provides tangible strategies that will speed up adoption and drive growth.

Monitise Acquires Clairmail to Strengthen Leadership Role in Fast-Expanding US and Global Mobile Money Market

Monitise Acquires Clairmail to Strengthen Leadership Role in Fast-Expanding US and Global Mobile Money Market
Monitise plcLONDON--(Marketwire - Jun 26, 2012) - Monitise plc (LSEMONI.L), the technology and services company delivering mobile banking, payments and commerce networks worldwide, announces that it has completed the acquisition of US mobile banking and payments specialist Clairmail Inc. ("Clairmail"), further enhancing Monitise's position as the global leader in the fast-expanding Mobile Money market.
As previously announced, each of the proposed resolutions relating to the acquisition was approved at Monitise's general meeting of the Company held on 25 June 2012.
Acquisition highlights and benefits:
  • World-leading bank-grade Mobile Money platform servicing more than 15m registered customers, up from 13m when the acquisition was announced in March, 2012.
  • Enhanced partner and client base includes financial institutions and payments companies such as Visa Inc. and Visa Europe, FIS, Fifth Third Bank, U.S Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, HSBC, Lloyds TSB, Co-operative Banking Group, Sallie Mae, PNC Bank, Frost National Bank, Standard Chartered, Permata Bank and HDFC Bank among others.
  • Combined business handling over a billion transactions per annum, as well as payments and transfers worth US$15bn on a current weekly annualised basis.
  • In North America, Monitise now provides Mobile Money services to over 300 financial institutions and partners, including a third of the top 50 North American financial institutions and of these eight of the top 13.
  • Combined pro forma revenues for calendar 2012 expected to be close to US$100m.
  • Before the end of calendar 2013, Monitise expects the acquisition to be earnings accretive and the enlarged group to achieve EBITDA breakeven.
  • More than 600 technology, R&D and sales staff across key geographies including North America, Europe, the UK, Asia Pacific, Africa and India.
"We are now handling over 100 million transactions a month as consumers benefit from always-on mobile access to their finances. We remain on track for a strong trading year and will be further strengthened next year by our acquisition of Clairmail. As the only pure play Mobile Money specialist with the scale and experience to deliver live services across four continents, we are honoured to be working with some of the world's leading banks and payments companies," said Monitise Group Chief Executive Alastair Lukies.
GLOBAL REACH
Monitise works with businesses in the US and around the world, helping financial institutions and payment companies defend and extend their market position amid exploding consumer demand for Mobile Money services.
The company has strategic partnerships with: Visa Inc., the world's largest retail electronics payments network; Visa Europe, which is owned and operated by more than 3,700 European member banks; FIS, the world's largest global provider dedicated to banking and payments technologies; and RBS Technology Services to broaden Mobile Money services across all RBS Group divisions.
Lukies said: "Since its inception Monitise has believed that financial institutions are best placed to provide sustainable, scalable and innovative solutions across all digital channels when it relates to consumers' finances. Banks' involvement at the centre of the Mobile Money supply chain gives consumers the confidence and security they need to embrace new services both online and offline from merchants, affinity partners and other consumer brands, all delivered across the device of choice for six billion of the world's population, namely the mobile phone."
The ability of mobile to help consumers manage how they bank, pay or shop is playing out in ways that few imagined even a short while ago. Gartner forecast in May 2012 that the worldwide value of mobile payments transactions is expected to surge 62% to $171.5bn this year from $105.9bn a year ago. In the US, Javelin Research sees 111m consumers using mobile banking in 2016 while Forrester forecasts US mobile commerce revenues to hit $31bn in 2016.
Lukies added: "With our acquisition of Clairmail and our activities in the US and globally, we are perfectly placed, with the support of our strategic partners, to help our clients in the battle for consumer engagement."
Monitise announced the acquisition of Clairmail, a private company with headquarters in San Rafael, California, on March 26, 2012.

MAGIC by Magic Johnson Delivers a Strong Financial Opportunity That Offers Acceptance, Convenience, and Control
LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - Jun 27, 2012) - In life, everyone can use a little magic to call their own. Entrepreneur and NBA Hall of Famer Earvin "Magic" Johnson, in partnership with OneWest Bank, FSB, today launches the MAGIC card, a reloadable prepaid MasterCard® that offers an excellent way for cardholders to simplify their lives and better manage their everyday financial needs. Offered nationally and available online at OnlyMagicCard.com, cardholders can rest easy knowing the MAGIC prepaid MasterCard comes from a reputable name they can trust.
"I want people to know this is my card," said Johnson, Chairman and CEO of Magic Johnson Enterprises. "I created this card because I believe everybody should be able to function in today's society where money has changed, and cash is no longer king. The MAGIC prepaid card can help make people's lives easier because it's safer and it allows cardholders to feel more in control. It's also important to me to be clear and upfront about the fees, so that people easily understand how this card works."
Magic Johnson EnterprisesTo learn more about how people can use the MAGIC prepaid card, and the MAGIC card National Tour, which starts in July, visit OnlyMagicCard.com. On the tour, Mr. Johnson wants to know "What Inspires You?" People can share videos of their inspirational stories on YouTube (http://youtube.com/OnlyMagicCard). The person with the most inspiring story will get to meet with Magic Johnson at a special inspirational event in LA. Tour event locations can be found at OnlyMagicCard.com (OnlyMagicCard.com) and on Facebook (http://fb.com/OnlyMagicCard).
THE ULTIMATE TEAM PLAYER INSPIRES PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT
"One of the ways I want to help people define their own success and achieve financial freedom is to give them more access to a solid financial toolkit," says Johnson. 
The MAGIC prepaid card offers an alternative payment solution that is safer and more convenient than cash, and it provides money management tools that empower customers to take steps toward greater financial security. Since there's no credit check or bank account required, it's also easy to get a card and begin using it.
The FDIC reports more than 60 million people in the U.S. do not have traditional bank deposit accounts or have limited access to a payment card.
"Let's face it, cash can only take you so far. With the MAGIC prepaid card people can go places and do things they can't do with cash -- like shop online, rent a car, or book travel reservations. But beyond that, it's a card designed for anybody who wants more enjoyment, stability and control in their life."
HOW THE MAGIC PREPAID CARD WORKS
With the MAGIC prepaid card there is no credit check or bank account required. It is a prepaid card that allows the cardholder to add money to it and control spending by only spending what they put on the card. All funds are FDIC-insured. Similar to a debit card, it can be used to withdraw cash at ATMs or used for purchases at millions of merchants worldwide anywhere MasterCard is accepted. 
Choice, Control, Convenience, Security, and Acceptance: A Look At The Benefits of MAGIC Membership
With the MAGIC prepaid MasterCard there are never any fees for purchases, and when used the right way, cardholders get a wealth of benefits for one low monthly fee of $4.95.
  • Add money for free with direct deposit or ACH bank transfer. Add money with cash at over 60,000 locations using Green Dot's MoneyPak network for $4.95 (a Green Dot fee, not a fee charged by MAGIC).
  • Get cash for free by asking for cash back at a retailer like a grocery store. Cardholders can also get cash from any bank teller or ATM (fees may apply, see fee schedule for details). 
  • Track spending for free 24/7 with online and mobile account management solutions and free email and text alerts.
  • Make purchases for free online and at millions of merchants worldwide, anywhere MasterCard is accepted.
  • Set up a free MAGIC Mojo savings goal account and see how easy it can be to save money and reach goals with our unique text system that celebrates "impulse saves" and helps keep you on track. 
  • Stay worry free knowing that the MAGIC prepaid card is FDIC insured and protected with the MasterCard Zero Liability Policy.
Johnson concludes, "In many ways today if you don't have plastic, you're out, and I don't think anybody should be left out. This card can work for everyone and we are committed to making sure it does."
