The Coinjars application on facebook provides a mechanism for the FREE movement of funds down to as little as 1c (US) between users and to merchants. The Coinjars application on Facebook uses iCoins, an online currency that you can spend and send around the world, FAST, SAFELY and for free! Coinjars is an iCoins 'wallet' on Facebook.

iCoins are just like real money: buy an iCoin for US$1 and it's worth US$1 in real-world cash. The big difference is that you can send iCoins INSTANTLY and WITHOUT BANK CHARGES! We also connect disparate wallets - similar to the SWIFT and IBAN facility in international bank transfers. By converting your money into iCoins, you avoid the charges and delays normally involved in international bank transfers.

This blog is to bring you stories about how you can use Coinjars in Facebook as well as other relevant Facebook news that we think will help everyone who shares our common goal to MONETIZE Facebook.

That's making MONEY IN Facebook for your business, FUNDRAISING for charity via Facebook or SENDING & RECEIVING cash (to suppliers, kids at college or travelling in different countries, family back home etc).

Coinjars application makes Facebook monetization easy, safe and possible

Sending and receiving of money within popular social networking website Facebook is now made possible with iCoins Limited’s Coinjars application, a place where digital cash can be stored and moved safely, quickly and conveniently between Facebook users and also to and fro any places outside the Facebook system that support iCoins.

(GIBRALTAR – May, 2008) – Now receiving payments from clients, sending college allowance to kids halfway across the world, lending cash, paying back a friend, giving to charity and shopping via the popular social networking website Facebook has been made ten times easier, safer, quicker and more convenient with the launch of iCoins Limited’s Facebook application called CoinJars.

Coinjars is a place where digital cash can be stored and moved safely. Given this, the monetization of Facebook, which has long been advocated by users and merchants alike within the Facebook community, is now made possible.

The application, which can be accessed at http://apps.facebook.com/coinjars and at its Facebook Page http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=6489937223 is a wallet application built on the iCoins (www.icoins.com) platform. All iCoins are secured and underwritten by a licensed eMoney operation called a Treasury. The Treasury for Coinjars is Mintflow Limited in the Isle of Man.

“We are extremely proud of Coinjars. Extending Coinjars to provide a simple cash collection mechanism for both merchants and non-merchants on Facebook is a logical extension and a proof of our relentless efforts to meet the needs in our ever changing world,” emphasized iCoins CEO Adriaan Brink.

“We are confident that the users of this very useful application will benefit from the many exciting possibilities. Merchants, for instance, can now send and receive money from their clients in Facebook. Non-merchants can send and receive money from family and friends within Facebook through Coinjars. They can also donate money to various charities in Facebook and if a user is a business owner, he can easily send small monetary incentives to a supplier or customer thank you through Coinjars,” Brink relayed.

The CEO also shared that a “buy now” option will also be available for Coinjars very soon. Brink said that this option will be very beneficial especially for merchants.

“We’re very optimistic that iCoins, through integrated eWallets such as CoinJars, will revolutionize the way we pay online,” Brink emphasized.

To date, transferring of funds from one party to another on the Internet has required both parties to have wallets within the same system (such as Paypal). In the traditional banking world solutions such as IBAN – an international banking account number standard – provides a solution but is limited in that it only works between bank accounts. Moreover, transfers using IBAN (or SWIFT) are only credited once the actual funds are received by the receiving bank. This delay is inappropriate in today’s connected world. Other money transfer services such as Western Union and Moneygram provide international non-banking transfers. While these systems have proven to be useful in the offline world, these have not proven to be as useful in the ever growing online world.

Gibraltar-based iCoins aims to change all this with its system that provides the transfer mechanisms of SWIFT and IBAN, with real time execution, integrated within existing players in the online eWallet space. Facebook users can now enjoy the same security and freedom of cash movement through the CoinJars application.

“The purpose of this mechanism is not to replace the credit card and other payment methods such as Paypal in normal merchant payments, but to facilitate micro payments and international bank transfers that would normally be too expensive (small payments or between distant places) and to facilitate payments between disparate systems,” Brink underscored.

With the presence of iCoins and integrated eWallets such as CoinJars, people all over the world are given more viable, cost-efficient choices in dealing with online payments and money transfers.
