Check out Banktastic.com!

The Community April 1st, 2008 View Comments

Today we’re announcing the open release to our latest web app, Banktastic.com!

Banktastic.com very simply is a “social networking & knowledge hub” for the financial industry. Our goal is to make Banktastic a friendly, open community where you can connect with other people in banks and credit unions just like you! It’s about sharing, openness, and fun. The community is made up of CEOs, IT directors, tellers, marketing specialists, vendors, and people in many different areas of the banking industry.

We’ve also created our own television network!

We have also developed two shows for BanktasticTV, “The Burst” and “The CU Scoop”, which are dedicated to bringing members relative information through video posts on the Banktastic Blog.

We’re open to the public, and it’s free!

As of today, April 1st, we’re releasing a brand-new version of Banktastic with a sleek new look. Up until this point, Banktastic was in an invite-only beta version, but is now completely open to the public. Along with a new look, we’re unveiling a company and product review feature, which allows users to rate and comment on companies and different products. This is a great, unbiased way for companies to learn more about how people view them and find ways to improve their products & services. Companies can even create & claim their own company profiles to get even more interactive with the community and to share their latest and greatest products with the community.

If you’ve never visited Banktastic.com, we’d love to have you come by and join in the conversation. While you’re there, join the community and start getting connected with other bankers that you know. See if you can help answer any questions that our members have asked, or share some interesting news with the rest of the community. We hope to see you online!
