A bank card holding device for mobile phones, comprising:
- a. a card holder assembly having a substantially rectangular shape made of a transparent plastic, said card holder assembly including a front side and a rear side, said front side having an opening extending substantially a full length of said card holder assembly located on a top portion thereof configured to slidably receive a card therein, said front side further having a first magnifying member located thereon configured to magnify card information of said card, said card holder assembly further including lights powered by a battery disposed therein configured to illuminate said card information, said card holder assembly being integrated to a mobile phone case or configured to be attached to a mobile phone, said card holder assembly being configured to hold and display said card while magnifying and illuminating information displayed on said card through said transparent plastic;
- and
- b. a mounting assembly comprising a first mounting member, a second mounting member, and a pivot joint connecting said first mounting member to said second mounting member, said pivot joint configured to allow both rotation and tilt of said card holder assembly relative to said mobile phone, configured to pivotally attach the card holder assembly to the mobile phone;
- wherein said first mounting member has a rectangular shape;
- wherein said pivot is placed above said first mounting member, wherein said pivot is wider than said first mounting member;
- wherein said second mounting member is attached on top of said pivot, opposite to said first mounting member, wherein said second mounting member has a rectangular shape, wherein said card holder assembly is attached to a top end of the second mounting member;
- wherein said mounting assembly further includes two fasteners attached to a bottom edge of said first mounting member, wherein each fastener is located at lateral sides of said first mounting member, wherein said fasteners have a C-shape configured to secure said bank card holding device for mobile phones to a top edge of a mobile phone.
