>>>This is what Benny was referring to a couple days ago, if I got him right.

Yes. Wingspan.com is a virtual bank set up by Bank One (a CF client). Bank One sits on the CF board and is probably CF's best big client. If I were bank one I would set up more virtual banks....womenbank.com, etc., just Flood the Market. Look for Bank One on Yahoo, Excite, etc., they understand the market, they "get it".

Yes, that makes sense...and believe that Benny thought it was the rollout of Wingspan that triggered the timing of the Exchange announcement.

Well, the three banks got their 15 minute allotment, at least for now, and now get to watch someone with a real live service for awhile. I would think this would be help to CKFR's shares.
