Ease, Convenience and Security for Starters!
Once upon a time, not very long ago (at all!), you wouldn’t dare leave home without your wallet. Flash forward a nanosecond to our current moment in time, and that same old wallet can just… stay put. How is this possible?
With the continued popularity of payment apps utilized on a mobile device, you no longer need to worry about carrying a wallet, let alone any credit and debit cards. Mobile wallet provides you with the same in-hand accessibility simply by storing your debit and credit card information in digital form. Once stored, you can make purchases using a smartphone, tablet, or smartwatch… while letting your wallet collect dust.
The question is, should you make the switch?
Here, we take a quick look at why a mobile wallet is so popular and whether you should do away with your billfold altogether!
