What is a digital wallet, and how does it work?

‍

Today, we’ll tell you how digital wallets, also known as e-wallets, operate—one of the most important payment methods today.

The world has evolved, and so have payment methods. Banks, fintech companies, and other businesses have launched their own digital wallets. Paytech One has its own too! Have you heard about it? It’s called Paytech Wallet, a highly efficient payment method.

In this article, we’ll explain how digital wallets work in general so you can understand the benefits they offer.

What is a digital wallet?

A wallet is an app that allows users to manage their money virtually from their phone and make payments easily.

With a digital wallet, users can make payments to purchase anything they want, send transfers, pay bills, and access their financial information anytime.

‍

How does it work?

It’s simple! The user links their bank account or active cards to the wallet. Some wallets integrate with multiple accounts and cards. Through the management panel, all payment details can be monitored.

How to choose your digital wallet or e-wallet?

You need to know exactly what you’ll use it for. Examples? Receiving national or international payments, or collecting from individuals or companies.

It’s important to note that digital wallets use encryption technology and tokens—meaning payments are processed under an algorithmic encryption system that prevents data duplication.

Also, when paying with a digital wallet, the online store doesn’t get access to your card or account details. Usually, the user must unlock their device and enter a password to authorize the payment.
