    trade mark the concept way before approaching them!!!!

    U'd also prob have to have it operational before they'd possibly buy it off you aswel
  • Razil with all due respect Banks are not going to be interested in purchasing custom built fences online, they need something a bit more substantial to keep would be bank robbers at bay.

    Back to the drawing board m'lad.

    YAWN....did I forget to say serious answers only...........................??
  • depends on what it does to be honest mate.

    if its payment systems related thing the people you need to speak to are allot different than if its a marketing promotional thing

    you can make them sign a non disclosure contract before meeting with them if you cant copyright it.
  • its kind of both, but more marketing from bank perspective
  • You want to send a whisper to Weegie. She's in Marketing
  • You would get a respectable backer on board to approach them or sell the concept to an existing financial services software company....banks tend to custom build their own systems or use specialised suppliers in order that 'people' aren't able to hack in etc... They also tend to only buy things from approved suppliers...the corporate websites will have a link as to how to become an approved supplier (well, ours does)... Or, if it's marketing related, you could have a look around and see which marketing agencies the banks use (if any)....

    Our mutual friend in Sweden works in financial software systems, give him a shout...
  • its such a no brainer I'm still researching if someone hasn't done it already..

  • Sponsored links:


  • There are companies and lawyers who specialise in innovations. You can speak to them in confidence and they will help with the patent etc.

    If I can find a number I will let you have it.

    I wouldn't suggest contacting potential clients direct until you have got it registered and have a proper pitch done. Assuming it is a new idea you need to consider cost of the product, cost to enter the market, who the buyers might be, competition, substitutes (I know my Porter) and finally price.

    Good luck.

    PS if it match boxes with strike on only one side that has been done.

    Just for your guide it is virtually impossible to trade mark an idea of a website or even the code it is written. I have an in with lots of Banks and sometimes help finance new businesses. If the idea is that good then I may be able to help.
