Users can share their goals and get support from friends and family inside the SmartyPig network or via a widget on Facebook or MySpace. The mobile site is primarily optimized for the iPhone (I need to save to get one), but users can access it from other devices such as Android, Pre, HTC and BlackBerry.

SmartyPig’s accounts are securely held in West Bank, they get a 3.05% interest rate and customers can

get reduction on their purchase from top retailers such as Best Buy or Amazon. Other Web 2.0 features allow to track goals in money management site like Mint.com and Wesable. The customer service dialogs with customers via Twitter (of course), a Facebook fan page, the CRM site GetSatisfaction and its blog.
