I'm new to the "mobile wallet" concept. What is a mobile wallet and why should I use it?
What is it? A mobile wallet is an alternative to using your physical debit card that allows you to store your information on your mobile device and securely use it to make purchases. With mobile payments, your actual debit or credit card number is never transmitted or shared with merchants. Instead, a unique “device account number” is assigned, encrypted, and securely stored. When you make a purchase, the "device account number", along with a transaction-specific security code, is used to process your payment.
Why should I use it? Adding cards to your mobile wallet provides a convenient way to pay for purchases with your smartphone, smartwatch, or tablet. It may also help to reduce fraud, as mobile wallets are generally harder to steal or copy than physical cards and cash.
