The term mobile wallet is primarily found in the areas of eCommerce and Digital Commerce, Digital Transformation, and Crowdfunding and Finance.
A mobile wallet is a digital wallet on a smartphone. Here, users can store their bank cards, loyalty cards, and sometimes even tickets or ID cards. Payment is made simply via an app, for example when shopping in a supermarket or online. Instead of taking a credit card out of your wallet, you simply hold your phone to the payment terminal or tap „Pay Now“ in the online shop.
A typical example: In a bakery, you pay with your smartphone by opening the Mobile Wallet app and holding your phone briefly to the card reader. The payment is completed in seconds, and the purchase amount is securely debited from your account.
Mobile wallets not only make the payment process faster and more convenient, but often also more secure, as many apps use modern encryption and fingerprint or facial recognition. Additionally, you get an overview of all transactions directly in the app.
Mobile wallets are being used more and more frequently, particularly in online retail and for online fundraising, as they simplify the payment process for both users and providers.
