[Johan Bryggare]

Great list Cristophe. I wrote a post the other day on banks on Twitter (in Swedish though) and mentioned Bank of America, First Federal and Technology Credit Union and I'm pretty sure there are some more.

[Fernando Egido]

Hi Cristophe,

Congratulations!, it's a great list.

In addition to our blog community, we have different online services: official Twitter and YouTube accounts, a Facebook page or a News RSS Feed.

Regards.

[Christophe Langlois]

@ Fernando: thanks for your feedback!

I have added your initiatives to my list. I look forward to meeting up with you next time I am in Spain.

[Christophe Langlois]

I have just added a few initiatives from First National Bank (FNB) / South Africa:
* YouTube Channel
* Facebook Page
* Twitter
* RSS Feed

Source: the FNB Premier Banking Page on Facebook

[Christophe Langlois]

@ALL, I have just updated the Twitter section with some of the banks and credit unions listed in Jim Bruene's post on Netbanker (13-Mar-09): http://www.netbanker.com/2009/03/banks_and_credit_unions_on_twitter.html

[Boris]

Hi,

thank you for the great list. I wrote a short post about it in my german Social Banking Blog. www.electrouncle.de

[Christophe Langlois]

@Boris, thanks for your feedback and for referring to Visible Banking in "Innovate or die".

By the way, next week I will post my video interview with Matthias Koener, Founder & CEO of Fidor AG. You will find out more about their new service 2.0, "Fidor Community Banking". Stay tuned!

[Aden Davies]

This is a fantastic resource Christophe...great work.

[Christophe Langlois]

@Aden, thanks. Please feel free to flag any missing initiatives from HSBC and Firstdirect!

@SVB_Financial

Silicon Valley Bank (good people; they've been a client)

[Christophe Langlois]

@Mark Done! And thanks for your kind words.

@all I invite you to check http://wechsler.com

[denis]

What about to create a new sub item in your great list about payment solutions (blogs, twitters, facebook, etc) ?

[bankelele]

No corporate banking blogs in Kenya, but I've been doing a local banking sector blog (http://bankelele.blogspot.com)

[Christophe Langlois]

@bankelele Thanks for flagging your blog. It doesn't qualify to be listed in my directory, but I invite you to promote it on the Visible Banking Page on Facebook.

[Christophe Langlois]

@denis Thanks for your kind words.

Good suggestion: I would be delighted to have you to create (then update) this new section which will list the social media initiatives from "payment solutions".

Obviously I would make sure to give you a well-deserved visibility on Visible Banking. Interested?

[denis]

Thank you Christophe . Let's start with some payment solutions on twitter :
http://twitter.com/zongnews
http://twitter.com/Payoneer
http://twitter.com/twippr
http://twitter.com/Obopay
http://twitter.com/mgive
http://twitter.com/tipjoy

to be completed (by every one)

[Peter]

Hi Christophe!

Thanks for creating this great list! What a resource.

I run the @Bellco_CU on Twitter. Thanks for including us. We also have a YouTube account: BellcoCreditUnion.

[Aden Davies]

Another potential category to add would be social media usage guidelines by financial organisations. Laurel Papworth aka @Slikcharm on Twitter, has produced a great list of these for other industries but no banking ones as yet http://bit.ly/cMsyP.

[Christophe Langlois]

@all I have moved Severus CU's "Young & Free Alberta" from Social Networking to the blogging section.

I have also added South Carolina Federal CU's "Young & Free South Carolina" and TDECU's "Young & Free Texas" to the blogging section.
