Summary
Seconds is an online payment system that allows users to send money via web or Twilio SMS using Stripe and Dwolla as the back-end money transfer services. The platform was initially designed for friend-to-friend transactions but has since expanded to include charity efforts, such as GiveNation, which challenges states to raise money for Hurricane Sandy relief. Seconds aims to utilize its platform to facilitate donations and leverage SMS technology for good, partnering with nonprofits and charities to support their fundraising initiatives.
