Mobile Wallets are quickly becoming a more accepted and convenient method of payment for consumers wanting to use their mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, wearable devices, etc.) for purchases. Mercantile has partnered with multiple industry-leading Mobile Wallet providers bringing flexibility in choosing an option that best fits you. Mercantile cardholders can use Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and PayPal to make purchases at a growing list of retailers and online merchants. At Mercantile, you can rely on us to offer the best Mobile Wallet solutions to meet your personal needs.
Why Would I use a Mobile Wallet?
Mobile wallets offer increased security. They're safer than carrying a credit card or cash in your wallet, because information stored in mobile wallets is encrypted, so the details of your credit card, for instance, aren't accessible to others. When mobile wallets transmit data to make payments, they never transmit your actual account numbers. Instead, they use encrypted payment codes. And your phone can't be opened without your fingerprint or a personal identification number, so getting to your data is much tougher than opening up your wallet.
