10 Ways to Use Zoompass

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

People often ask us: “When would I use Zoompass?”

It takes time to see the value of new technology. Way back, when people were accustomed to the radio, no one thought the television would ever catch on. But looking at our monstrous HDTV’s and hundreds of channels, it is clear that once people tried it, they liked it!

So, we understand that you would like to know how Zoompass will fit into your everyday life for it to be useful for you. That’s why we’re starting a list of ways you can use Zoompass – and we want you to help us build it. Here are some of our initial thoughts:

1)    Collect money for your office lottery pool/baby gift/wedding shower etc.

2)    Get exact change from your dinner companion without even leaving the table.

3)    Tap and Go to save time when you purchase your morning coffee with the Zoompass Prepaid MasterCard.

4)    Zoom your favourite college student their weekly grocery money.Cake

5)    Request money from your siblings for Mom and Dad’s big anniversary surprise party.

6)    Hockey pants don’t have pockets: Zoom the team captain your registration fee.

7)    Run out of gas? No cash? Request money from your best friend.

8)    Make online purchases with your Zoompass Prepaid MasterCard the same way you would with a credit card.

9)    Zoom the babysitter. (Ya, we went there.)

10) Running an online contest? Use it to Zoom the winners.

But we want to hear how you’ve used it – Leave us a comment and let us know how the convenience and practicality of Zoompass works for you.

Another Way to Use Zoompass…

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

A few days ago, we noticed a posting on RedFlagDeals from someone wondering about the cheapest ways to send money. We were ecstatic to see that someone recommended Zoompass!

Zoompass is a great way to make your online purchases safely and securely. All purchases on using the Zoompass Prepaid MasterCard are backed by MasterCard.

And if you want to make a purchase based on an ad from an e-commerce site like Craigslist, eBay, or Kijiji, Zoompass is great for transactions between buyers and sellers! It eliminates the need to exchange cash in a public place, just Zoom the money to the seller.
