Digital or Electronic wallet refers to an electronic, internet based payment system which stores financial as well as personal identity related information. Such electronic payment system enable a customer to pay online for the goods and service, including transferring fund to other by using an integrated hardware and software system. Hardware can be a mobile or computer. Communication between the buyer and seller may happen over the internet or Bluetooth or on mobile network. Thus, e-wallet is nothing but an online money account which does not require the use of a physical card for undertaking transaction remittance. Unlike saving bank account, they at present, do not offer any interest for keeping money in it, but reward the holders through cash-back for making purchases through it. Unlike credit cards, e-wallet are preloaded money it. Hence, it resembles more to a debit card. Jinimol.
