So what is Clinkle? Digital wallet? "Treats"? Can someone pin it down for me?

  Your guess is as good as theirs.

  it seemed like some combination of payment replacement + wallet, presumably eventually linked directly to bank accounts / venmo / loyalty program ala belly/punchd/punchtab

  >they could win a full refund of what they paid. Sort of like a social slot machine, Clinkle hoped to seduce users with the chance to win its little lottery. a nice juicy target of the state [anti-]gaming commission.

  A bank that you could sign up for and use on your phone. You got a debit card with ATM access and rewards without a credit check. The app showed your payment history and let you send money to and request money from other Clinkle users.

    Plus merchant terminals + payment system?
    • 21echoes 11y ago
      yup, but that was dropped late 2012 in favor of debit cards for backwards compatibility, with plans to re-introduce merchant terminals once there was user adoption
