Get Some BanktasticTV Tees!
Brad created some awesome shirts for you guys on Zazzle! But the best part is that the first person to comment on this episode on the blog gets a shirt for FREE! If you don’t happen to comment first but still want a shirt, let us know and we’ll get you the information so that you can order one!
Q&A: Is the financial crisis only affecting banks and not CUs?
Brad asked a question on Banktastic to see if you all think CUs are being affected as much as banks have been by the recent mortgage crisis and recession. We think that perhaps CUs have stricter lending practices, which might be why they’re not running into as many issues as banks are right now. These are just our thoughts, and we’d love to hear what you think! Post your thoughts on the question on Banktastic, or comment on the blog!
Brad got his iPhone!
It didn’t take long, but it finally came in - Brad got his iPhone! He’s rather impressed with it so far and loving the new apps. We actually started chatting it up a little bit about an app that shows people where you are at any given time. There are already some apps out there that perform similar tasks, but not necessarily what we’re talking about. Watch the episode to check out our idea, and see if you think you’d want something like that on your phone.
Possible Facebook Payments App?
The Facebook F8 Conference was Wednesday, and there were rumors that Facebook was creating a payments app. Not knowing much more than that, Brad and I speculated that it would be an application to serve developers so that they can charge for their apps or accept donations.
However, the F8 Conference is over, and we’ve got some bad news. No payments app has been released. However, Zuckerberg unveiled Facebook Connect. To learn more about that, click on the link above and read all about it!

Big Changes to Banktastic
Banktastic’s a-changin’! Expect some really big things on April 1st. If we say much more, we’ll have to kill ya. All we can say is be there, and be there early!
FiServ Galaxy Facebook Application
Mike Templeton posted a really great article about FiServ Galaxy’s Facebook application calledMyMoney. Though Brad has run into a few issues finding more than just a hand full of FIs on the application, they’ve done a great thing moving to Facebook to get in touch with this younger market. Good on ya, FiServ Galaxy!
Finovate Startup
Brad & Mark (The CU Scoop) will be attending the Finovate Startup in San Francisco on April 29. This event features companies that are helping to change the way of the financial industry. A lot of innovative companies are going to be there, like last week’s Website of the Week FindABetterBank.com”, so look forward to some great footage when they get back.
Website of the Week: CakeFinancial.com
Brad’s favorite site of the Week is CakeFinancial.com. CakeFinancial merges social networking and stock trading in a really awesome way. You can see your friends’ recent trades, track the top companies, and so much more. It’s a smart way to track your investments while connecting you with the best information available. It’s good to see a site making trading really interactive like this.
