How wallet system works and why it is important?

Traditional alternative methods of payment (AMOP) such as credit and debit Cards facilitate electronic payments over a point of sale point or an online payment gateway. However, the world is on a different ride altogether. It is witnessing the widespread adoption of a new AMOP in the form of mobile payments.

Mobile payments aren’t that simple

However, unlike credit cards, smartphones aren’t payment instruments. They are pieces of hardware that need appropriate software layer to emulate the functionality of a payment instrument. While payments can still go through over a conventional payment gateway interfaced to web or mobile app connected over the internet, the whole process of entering the card details and passing the 2-way authentication system is a tedious one and defeats the whole purpose of using instant mobile payment systems.

The evolution of mobile wallets

As standalone mobile wallets apps are replacing traditional alternative methods of payment with a faster, efficient method, increasingly app publishers have started to integrate mobile wallets in their existing apps to facilitate seamless payments. There are number of advantages of integrating wallet systems into apps.
This trend is particularly well taken by taxi booking apps. Digital wallets and ride hailing apps are natural bedfellows and help both ride operators and patrons to quickly settle payments without the hassle of tendering exact change.
