As a part of ‘Digital India’ campaign, the Indian government are constantly upgrading the way a consumer can transact. Mobile payment app is one such medium.

Also known as a digital wallet, a mobile payment app is similar to a bank account where you load money and conduct transactions as and when required. Unlike bank accounts, these online payment solutions do not offer any interest. You can transfer funds with ease.

The other payment modes include SMS and NFC payment. However, it is the mobile payment mode that has widely gained recognition. Following are the benefits offered by digital wallets:

Customers can purchase products from around the country without swiping the card or paying hard cash. This has simplified the online shopping experience as well.

2) Easy load of money: With the help of credit, debit or net banking, you can add money to your mobile payment app. It is also safe as details need to be entered only once. When you have to reload the amount, there is no need to re-enter the bank details.

You can divide the bill by merely entering the amount and the number of people who are expected to pay the share.

5) Timely payment: The online payment solutions come with auto pay facility as well. In case you miss the payment date, the app automatically debits the amount from your account.
