KISSKISSBANKBANK, HOW DOES IT WORK? Anyone can submit a project on the platform. Each creator fills in a form, designs the project s presentation, defines the amount of its collection and offers rewards in exchange of his funding. Once the project is validated (KissKissBankBank screens the projects to be sure they meet our projects guidelines) it can be published online. The KissBankers (projects backers) support projects they wish, by selecting a value between 1 and 9999 euro, and receive a reward in return. The payment is done via PayBox, the online secure payment system. The creator must reach its target within the time limit. If the project fails, all the contributors are refunded according to the «all or nothing rule. If a project is successfully funded, KissKissBankBank charges a 5% fee to the funds collected, while an additional 3% fee is attributed to the online payment system.

BUT HOW AND WHY...? WHY DO KISSBANKERS SUPPORT PROJECTS? Most projects receive their first contributions from their friends, family and their relatives. Others seduce the general audience and our KissBanker s community. IS THIS CO-PRODUCTION? On KissKissBankBank project creators keep their intellectual property rights: no co-production, only co-creation! But all KissBankers are motivated by empathy or by the possibility to identify with a creator and to sustain his or her project. Each contribution improves an identity. WHO S BEHIND KISSKISSBANKBANK? KissKissBankBank was born out of the collaboration of three founders. Ombline Le Lasseur has experiences in the music environment. Adrien Aumont has a Cinema and Communication background.
