Re:  eConnect - Form S-8

Dear Sir/Madame:

I have acted as counsel to eConnect, a Nevada corporation
("Company"), in connection with its Registration Statement on
Form S-8 relating to the registration of 4,000,000 shares of its
common stock ("Shares"), $0.001 par value per Share.  The Shares
are issuable pursuant to the Company's Retainer Stock Plan for
Non-Employee Directors and Consultants ("Plan").

In my representation, I have examined such documents, corporate
records, and other instruments as I have deemed necessary or
appropriate for purposes of this opinion, including, but not
limited to, the Articles of Incorporation, and all amendments
thereto, and Bylaws of the Company.

Based upon the foregoing, it is my opinion that the Company is
duly organized and validly existing as a corporation under the
laws of the State of Nevada, and that the Shares, when issued and
sold in accordance with the terms of the Plan, will be validly
issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.

Sincerely,


/s/  Brian F. Faulkner
Brian F. Faulkner, Esq.
