You can securely send, receive, and store money, as well as pay for online and offline purchases, using a mobile wallet app on your smartphone.

WHAT IS A MOBILE WALLET

A mobile wallet, also known as an e-wallet or a digital wallet, is a virtual wallet on your smartphone that stores credit cards, debit cards, credits, and even loyalty cards.

Mobile wallets provide users with a convenient way to make in-store payments, but they can only be used by merchants that have been approved by the mobile wallet service provider.

Some apps utilize near-field communication technology, or NFC, which requires users to be physically present when making a purchase.

You can also use mobile wallet apps to pay bills, buy loads, send money, shop, and do many other things from the comfort of your own home!

How Do Mobile Wallets Work

After installing the mobile wallet app on your smartphone, you can typically tap or scan the relevant QR codes displayed at cashiers in stores. Your phone must have a data connection in order for it to work as a mobile wallet.

Many merchants in the Philippines now accept contactless payments. The various contactless symbols displayed at cashiers can assist you in identifying the digital wallets that merchants accept.
