Digital Payments

In our mobile and online world, digital payments have been and continue to be rapidly adopted. Member demand is increasing for these touchless payment offerings.

To stay ahead of the curve and keep your credit union top-of-mind and top of the digital wallet, use these digital payments tools.

 

Digital Wallets  

Digital wallets virtually store cardholder payment information and allow users to securely complete transactions using their smartphones, smartwatches, or other devices. If shopping online, digital wallets can eliminate the need for the user to input card information for each transaction.

Major, well-known digital wallets include Apple Pay, Amazon Pay, Samsung Pay, and Google Pay, but additional options continue to enter the market. Many retailers also act as a digital wallet, retaining card information in-app.

Being top-of-wallet means being first-in-app when describing digital wallets.

Key benefits to digital wallets include:

  • Touchless Capability: With no need to dip or swipe a card, the need to touch a POS terminal is limited
  • Top of Wallet/First App: Default card set becomes the primary form of payment
  • Convenience: No need to carry a physical card
  • Flexibility: Ability to complete in-app and online transactions
  • Speed: Quicker transaction time
  • Security: Cashiers no longer see names or card numbers because tokenization encrypts payment information

Our team can assist your credit union with the push provisioning capability required to securely push the card account information to the mobile wallet of choice.

 

Card Free Cash

As members become more accustomed to using their smartphones or other connected devices for payments, adopting Card Free Cash is a logical next step. Card Free Cash allows members to use their smartphones to withdraw cash from an enabled ATM terminal.
