Breaking Down Digital Wallets: How They Simplify Your Finances?
- Digital wallets, also known as mobile wallets, are apps that allow users to pay for goods and services using their smartphone instead of cards or cash, with transactions being transmitted to payment terminals via card information already loaded and saved to the wallet app's data.
- Many of the major global digital wallet players include PayPal, Google Pay, Samsung Pay and Apple Pay. However, bespoke wallets also exist, catering to niche markets and specific users, such as Anonymous Crypto Wallets.
