A bank that launched itself in an online game

We just discovered a nice video about Keytrade:



We find it interesting to post this, because it makes the link between our work and the work of the people working on the gaming industry.

In 2007, Keytrade opened a virtual office in the internet world, Second Life.
The virtual bank office proposed a money converter, converting the "Linden dollar" (Second Life's currency)in real money. The instrument was designed by the Belgian internet-marketing agency Emakina.
Though, the project didn't last long. since there were only 6 to 8000 Belgian gamers on Second Life, the market was quite small. But, Keytrade benefited from the media interest in this project. It was used as a branding tool.
