Summary
Anders Brownworth, Chief Evangelist at circle.com, talks about enabling person to person payments, without fees or barriers. "Making it as simple as sending an email" as he says. Even iMessaging could be used to transfer money through circle.com. They are making it the most versatile money transfer service ever.
Circle.com has taken over the US market and this year it is aiming for the European market. Anders explains that some areas are more receptive than others, while the financial system tends to operate differently in different countries, making it more difficult for transfer to occur.
Currently circle is working on "Project Spark", which is something to look out for in the near future.
