Would you pay to put your mortgage out to tender?

An Aussie start-up with a new take on online mortgage brokerage is betting a good number of people will. Flongle encourages consumers to carefully map out their ideal mortgage for a new property or refinancing, and then for a fee anonymously put it out to Flongle's network of lenders and brokers to bid on in a "mortgage contest". In a way...

Contactless payments are not a choice

This is a volatile currency, and in the recent past pretty big devaluations have come off the back of hacking and theft incidents (and take down of SilkRoad marketplace).
