KissBank: The Global Currency of Kindness KissBank
go to original August 16, 2012

We are surrounded by kind people and bound together as a species by invisible bonds of kindness. The more we acknowledge this fact, the kinder we become as individuals. KissBank is a forum for people all over the World to report random acts of kindness, great and small, in words, pictures and videos.

KissBank is a global newsfeed for stories about human beings at their best – and an antidote to the stories of death, destruction and disaster that fill our lives through 24/7 news reporting. We all take other people for granted. But the simple act of recognizing a kind deed is our first step to becoming kinder ourselves.

Campaign For A Kinder World

How do we make a better world for ourselves, our children and their children? Judging by the endless stream of horror stories about war, starvation, cruelty and poverty the human species has a very long way to go. KissBank believes that the impact of 24/7 News has created a new syndrome which we call 'Kindness-Blindness'.

Kindness and kind people do exist in the world – but they rarely get a mention. Our campaign to 'Kiss the World Better' is the antidote to 'Kindness-Blindness' because it puts kind people and kind deeds into the spotlight. The plan is simple. We're going to fill the world with Kisses of Kindness which, with your help, will come to mean Kindness on a global scale.

The idea is that wherever you see the Kiss of Kindness you will be reminded that despite everything Kindness Really Does Exist in the World.

Reward Kind Acts With Kisses

KissBank believes we live in a much kinder world than we all think. To prove this we have created a new Currency of Kindness based on a global unit of social value – the 'Kiss'. KissBank is the hub of a new economy based on the giving and receiving of Kisses. In this economy it is the kindest people in the world who will accumulate the most Kisses, irrespective of their financial status.

Turn Kisses Into Cash For Charity

It's amazing to receive Kisses from other people. It's a sign of how much they love and appreciate you. It's even more amazing to learn that your Kindness can directly help good causes and charities.

Thanks to third party sponsors, the Kisses you receive every month can be turned into hard cash for KissBank's 'Charity of the Month'. Every month you can donate a proportion of the Kisses you've received to the Charity and the sponsor will match it with a cash donation. So the more active your KissBank account is, the more Kisses you can donate.

So when you open your KissBank account, check out the current 'Charity of the Month'. Our 'Kissometer' tracks donated Kisses in real time against the target. We believe that 'Sponsored Kissing' is a revolutionary fundraising system for charities all over the world.

Build A Global Economy Based On Kindness

We are surrounded by kind people and bound together as a species by invisible bonds of kindness. The more we acknowledge this fact, the kinder we become as individuals. KissBank is the base of a new economy based on kindness and the 'Kiss' is the first global unit of social currency in history. We believe the simple act of sending a Kiss to reward an act of kindness will Change the World – One Kiss at a Time.

KissBank is the first social empathy website. It is where social networking becomes transformed into an ethical movement. Our fundamental aim is to harness the vast connecting power of the Internet to serve the better side of human nature. And this means the promotion and revaluation of kind people and all acts of kindness. People of differing beliefs, religions and political ideals can all agree that there is true value in helping other people.

It's easy to be selfish in a world defined by money, materialism and consumerism. But every society is glued together by people sacrificing their own personal interests for a greater good – for other people. KissBank is the ethical forum for all of you who want to put the Kind back into Humankind.

There are millions of you out there - so sign up to make a better world today.
