What is mobile wallet? Is it competitive to repel you from your billfolds?


Have you ever thought to carry very little cash and no cards, but still shop like a queen? Well, if you have, then definitely you know what this Mobile Wallet Technology is.

What is mobile wallet? It is definitely not a wallet that has a shape of mobile. This amazing technology allows all Smartphone and tablet user to transmit payment with the help of Near Field Communication (NFC). There is an App that gets automatically triggered in respective Smartphone or tablets as soon as the user wants to pay through mobile wallet technology. One only needs to tap their device which directs the command to a payment terminal, thus allowing the payment swiftly.

It increases the security as the payment stays with consumers with increase in speed. Thus, at end retailers and customers both are happy. The less cash you deal with, more secure is your business. Hence, it helps to do away from burden of cash which is considered very volatile. It gives business to a chance to improve their customer service as one may have a better access to numerous loyalty programs.

Increasing use of such high end devices is giving a huge boost to the mobile wallet market which makes it a lucrative place for investment. At, present it is slightly new, hence many people still doubt it and prefer for conventional cash or cards system. But, high adoption of Smartphone by GenNext will write a new story altogether.

Much market research has shown that the markets for mobile wallet will only grow. One of such interesting studies that I have found is by AMR which estimates that this market will be reaching an incredible figure of $5,250 billion in 2020. Surely, it is here to stay.

Is Mobile Wallet Technology safe to be used?

Well, many industry experts have concurred that Mobile wallet is much safer to use. Even if you misplace your phone, you may still enjoy your breath as one call of your to respective banks will disable this service for any kind of misuse.

They are of the opinion that this technology is still thriving and it would be early to dismiss its true potentials.
