Not Using Your Digital Wallet? Here’s Why You Should

Written by Andreana Binder | Jul 23, 2019 12:00:00 AM

Carrying a wallet full of coupons, ID and credit cards is the old way of being prepared for transactions.

When it’s time to pay for a transaction, we fish for and open wallets; finger through card after card; unfold receipts to determine which ones we need; search for the coupon cards we may have shimmied into the wallet – and then we can finally buy something.

We spend valuable time at checkout counters going through this process of locating your debit card or looking for physical coupons to use.  In addition, we often make decisions on what to carry in our wallets based on security. Some of us carry everything that has our names on it in our wallets – and some only carry the bare minimum cards when shopping or traveling in case of theft.

But what if there were a solution that could consolidate some of this process? What if you could pay for your transactions without needing to reach and sort through your physical wallet? Wouldn’t it be ideal to have a solution that could further protect your money?

If you haven’t yet experienced the convenience and seamlessness of using a digital wallet, you’re in for a treat. And the best news is that it’s already available on your smartphone and smartwatch.

How Does a Digital Wallet Work?

A digital wallet converts your debit or credit card number into encrypted data, which is only accessible through your fingerprint, personalized pin code or facial recognition. A merchant will never see or have access to your card number. The digital wallet requires adding your payment method, such as your debit card.

Your account information can be linked to a digital wallet of your choice: Apple Pay, Google Pay, Fitbit Pay, Garmin Pay or Samsung Pay. You can then make payments for purchases using your digital wallet.
