Advantages of sending to mobile wallets

Mobile wallets are the future of digital payments. They allow people to receive, store and spend money using a mobile phone. Easy, fast, secure — what more could you want? Here are some fun facts about mobile wallets:

• Most transfers will arrive in two minutes or less to your recipient’s mobile wallet!
• Unlike sending to a bank account, all you need to know is your recipient’s wallet number — which is usually just their phone number
• Once the transfer is deposited into the recipient’s account, they can choose how and when they use the funds
