A mobile wallet is a process in which no plastic cards are used, i.e., debit card or credit card. In this way, all the information of debit card and credit card are carried in a digitalized form. Mobile devices, i.e., smart phones, tablets, smart watches are used for making payments. In this process, the money is collected and retained by the entity, i.e., the particular application which you are using for making the payment and the same money is paid to the merchants who are the part of this acceptance.
It is an application which either comes in-built or is needed to be installed on smartphones. It is a type of storage container which stores the debit card or credit information.
In other words, it can be understood as the process by which payment is made digitally without using the cash.
After the application is installed/stored on your smartphone and the user of the application enters his payment information, this wallet will store this information by linking a personal identification format of the card holder. This application uses the technology known as Near-Field Communication (NFC) and this technology uses the radio frequency that communicates between the devices.
Not all devices use this technology, i.e., Near Field Communication, but for them, there are some other alternatives. The main benefit of using mobile wallet is that the issue of debit cards and credits cards being stolen is not with the mobile wallet, and also the payment time and waiting time can be reduced if the transaction is done through mobile wallet application.
For using a mobile wallet and making payment the user has to first load the money in the wallet through internet banking or your debit card or credit card and then pay to transact.
