What are mobile wallets?
A mobile wallet is a digital version of your physical wallet: it allows you to store, send, and receive money using your smartphone or a mobile device. Mobile wallet apps contain credit card, debit card, coupon, and reward card information. To make a payment, the app uses near-field communication (NFC), which uses radio frequencies to communicate between devices. Payment information is communicated from the mobile wallet to a point-of-service (POS) terminal. You can also use digital wallet, and peer-to-peer (P2P) applications, to send money from one person to another.
Mobile wallets also employ robust security measures such as encryption and two-factor authentication to safeguard your money and personal information. And as long as you have a smartphone and an Internet connection, you can access your mobile wallet anytime, anywhere.
