Overview
The vision of the company and its founders was to augment everyone’s financial universe by creating a mobile payment platform that could make and receive payments securely and instantly over any distance.
One of the key design imperatives of the team was to conceive a product that is in keeping with times, and one that does not change, but rather works with and integrates into the existing infrastructure, making adoption and overall usage by all constituents simple.
Besides generous private funding during the very early stages of the company, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, a top tier venture capital firm, has recently funded the mChek.
