Sapphire™ was acquired by mPower Mobile in September 2007. NextStage Capital had invested into Sapphire Mobile in February 2007. Sapphire's Phire® mobile banking and payments network enables any bank or prepaid debit card issuer to provide their customers with instant access to their accounts using the Short Message Service (SMS) that is available on every mobile handset. The Phire Mobile Debit Network™ allows consumers to securely send cash in real time to anyone with a mobile phone to check balances, transfer money between their accounts and pay bills through the bank's existing bill pay system, all without requiring the consumer to upgrade their hardware or install new software. Merchants can accept Phire payments at significant savings versus credit cards and can generate revenue as cash loading stations for prepaid debit accounts. Financial institution connectivity to the Phire Mobile Debit Network is 'bank friendly,' requiring little or no integration to a bank's infrastructure. In short, the Phire Mobile Debit Network turns any mobile phone into a mobile ATM. |
