Digital Wallets

Digital wallets are a great way to virtually load a physical card into a mobile app – and store its value for fast, easy access at the point of purchase. 

Digital wallet users can download an app, provision a virtual card, make point-of-sale transactions through contactless and scan to pay or push payments. They can also send or receive money into their wallet and withdraw funds to eligible card or accounts via Visa Direct.
