Hi,
I just received a letter from Mark Twain Bank saying they are closing their
eCash accounts and I have two weeks to convert my money. They say that
Digicash is planning something for later in the year in the US, although I
could find nothing on the website about this.
Does anyone know what the plans are for eCash in the US or if there are any
alternatives for use in the US?
Thanks,
Steven
