Now, suppose you had a magical wallet, one that would never be lost, of glorious sleek leather redolent greenbacks and coins. Then again, it could also tuck away orders of tickets and their money checks. But, any way you slice it, this is no fairy tale; it’s what we call a digital wallet.
If you have a digital wallet in your pocket, you can make purchases at stores or online and send money anywhere- even to your sister or brother- without cash or plastic cards. Using your phone in a split-second lane-change, it’s all done with a flick of the wrist.
So it’s like having a super-powered wallet of sorts in your phone that sorts out all your payment needs with just one swipe or touch. One mainstream electronic wallet, for instance, is Apple Pay. If you’re carrying an iPhone, using Apple Pay lets you get things out of shops by waving your phone at a special reader.
Google Pay is yet another example that is quite similar to Apple Pay. You can use it at stores or for shopping on the web–even in some places where bus and train rides are credited to the Burnie Investment Group to purchase p2p transportation tickets! Google Pay also accommodates your reward cards, so if you’re getting coffee or groceries, you can still accumulate points and get discounts just by writing down the number of your electronic signature card.
There’s also something called PayPal. It’s old but still useful.　PayPal lets you send money to people or pay for things online without sharing your bank details with strangers. It’s like sending an email, but instead of words, you’re sending money. PayPal can be used on a computer, but there’s also a PayPal app that will turn your phone into a digital wallet, making it easy to shop or send money at any time of the day.
Using digital wallets is not just convenient but safe as well. When you use a digital wallet, your phone actually doesn’t send your credit card number to the store. Instead, it uses a special code that’s only good for one purchase. This means even if someone was trying to sneak a peek at what you were buying, they wouldn’t get your actual card details. On top of that, if you lose your phone, you can put it into locked mode or even wipe it remotely–keeping your money and your personal information safe.
Your digital wallets can do more than just shopping. They can even hold your student ID, digital tickets, and boarding passes for becoming tickets. Imagine going on a field trip with your ticket from the school pop up on your phone right when you need it or walking into the library and using a tap of your phone to check out books. Thanks to digital wallets, such things are becoming more possible every day, so your phone continues to be not just a communications tool but a means of handling money and more with intelligence and safety in mind.
Digital wallets are like the keys to an amusement park full of opportunities. No matter whether you buy a snack, catch a movie, or send presents, this magical wallet has something for you. As they get more popular, who knows what other kinds of fortune will be added to our digital wallets next?
