A mobile wallet is a digital application that allows users to store, manage, and transact with their financial assets using a mobile device. It serves as a virtual container for various payment methods, including credit and debit cards, as well as digital currencies. Mobile wallets enable users to make secure and convenient transactions, such as payments for goods and services, online purchases, and peer-to-peer transfers. These wallets often utilize near-field communication (NFC) technology, enabling contactless payments at physical retail locations. Additionally, they may support loyalty cards, boarding passes, and other forms of identification, consolidating various aspects of a user's financial and personal information into a single, easily accessible platform. Mobile wallets contribute to the shift towards a cashless society, offering users a streamlined and efficient means of managing their financial activities on the go.
