wallets are safe and elude stealing of data from thieves.

of cards information and lack of technological advancement.

was difficult.

(mainly PCI-DSS), stealing data is next to impossible.

mobile phone, chances of typo errors are very minute.

make card payment. It is more accessible than wallet.

keeping money in mobile wallet. Hence, it is not wise to keep large sum of
money in wallet.
