Wipit, Inc.

edit

Wipit is a mobile payments venture focused on enabling the cash-preferred consumer to make mobile e-commerce transactions.

In the US alone, there are over 60 million under-banked and un-banked adults and a rapidly growing number of over 71 million prepaid mobile-phone subscribers. Mobile e-commerce revenues are projected to grow at a rapid pace to quickly rival traditional e-commerce figures. Wipit is strongly positioned to take advantage of these two disruptive global trends with a highly successful team that includes the Founder and former President of Virgin Mobile USA and former VP of Sales & Marketing of Boost Mobile USA.
