We are delighted to announce that BillMonk has been acquired by Obopay, Inc.
Obopay built the first comprehensive mobile person-to-person payments service in the US that lets you instantly send money to anyone using your mobile phone (SMS, WAP, or a downloadable app), or a web browser.
When we first talked to the Obopay team it was clear to us that they care deeply about making it easier to deal with money. Given that BillMonk’s goal is to make money painless between friends, the match couldn’t have been better.
As a first step of integration, BillMonk now lets you settle up your debts online via Obopay! Simply login and click on the new ‘Settle up with Obopay‘ action. Today’s beta release makes it easy to send money to a phone number; we will soon follow up with the ability to send money to an email address.
What’s most exciting about BillMonk joining forces with Obopay is that we can now deliver on a huge number of exciting features, sooner. (And we now have a Seattle office that isn’t our apartments, with a team that isn’t just the two of us!) BillMonk’s growth will be faster than ever, we can work harder than ever, and you benefit more than ever.
A big thanks to all of you for believing in the service and for helping us make it better. It has been a wild and wonderful first year; this next year is going to be through the roof!

i went to the obopay.com website and there was not comment box or email addy, but i would just like to know if i can join even if i’m not an american citizen or even if i don’t live in the states?
i already emailed my friends and relatives in the states about it, but gosh darn it, i wish i could get some of that referral bonus money! = )
please link up with bank of philippine islands (www.bpi.com.ph) here in the philippines. bpi is my bank so it’d be great if you can link up.
and if you do, hope you tell them i suggested it, maybe they’ll give me a prize or something, hehehehe.
thanks.

Hey guys,
Kudos on taking a step further in helping me keep tab of my expenses, i have had a whole lot of my friends hooked on to this ……

cheers on a job well done.
thanks

The team at Obopay is very excited about BillMonk and Obopay coming together. In a world that values convenience so much, it’s ironic how inconvenient money itself has become.
We are committed to making money painless among friends!

Is billmonk now going to be interfaced with the mobile interface to remind friends of pending money? Or is it that obopay will be a widget in billmonk where friends can pay money through billmonk?

Hey Billmonk Team,
What’s with website not functioning? I have over $700 to collect and I don’t have any hard copies of my bills anymore! I hope you’re going to restore the service with old accounts intact.
This is really important!

Capital One auto mortgage terms include 30, 60 and seventy two months. Funds 1, in contrast to other companies I’ve done business with is entirely inflexible with regards to adjusting there costs. Even when the huge charges are resulting from all of the very small hidden charges they’ve. Cash 1 Financial is also concerned with instalment lending, healthcare financing, and small small business lending actions.

Call them RIGHT NOW and tell them, about
the incoming deposit in about 3 days from now:
CLICK HERE
But only if you are FAST enough to take advantage
.. because it is coming off the market within the next
17 hours due to the secretive nature of this information
..you are going to want to crawl over broken glass
to get your hand on this software. Already people
are using it to “break the cycle”, leave their jobs
and finally achieve the life they always wanted.
I just got off a call and reserved you a copy, but
he can only hold it for the next hour and I am not
sure when you are getting this.
CLICK HERE
P.S. What you didn’t know is that the creator of this software
used to be on welfare and had to ride his bicycle every week
to the social services office to collect his check.
When he finally discovered this software, he was able to not
only lift himself up off of welfare, but actually began to live
the dream that he always wanted. I want you to have your
chance to LIVE YOUR DREAM too. So I want you to click here
now and get this software before it is gone because it is going fast.

Hello there! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog.
Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking
about creating my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? With thanks
July 5, 2013 at 6:23 am |
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% positive. Any tips or advice would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you
