Make Obopay Work For You

January 23rd, 2009

I recently signed up as a non-degree seeking student for a history class at Miami Dade Community College.  On our first day of class, the teacher sold us textbooks, which were cheaper than buying them at the bookstore.  I didn’t the know the books would be available before hand, so I didn’t arrive with a check and I didn’t have enough cash in my purse.

Well, guess what?  This was a perfect moment to use Obopay!  I completely had the option of texting him $40 on the spot from my Obopay account, so I wouldn’t have to worry about bringing a check or cash the following week.

Teachers who sell books or supplies in their classrooms could benefit from the Obopay option.  It would also be ideal when parents need to cover supplies for their kids at after-school places like sport camps or dance studios.

I love finding new ways to use this banking technology.  Do you have any original ideas of your own? Please let me know in comments.
