M-Banking or Electronic Wallets

I don't have any knowledge regarding this topic.


  • What are they?
  • How do they work?
  • How can you create one

What I learned:

  • with the electronic you can carry all your cards credit, debit,etc. on your phone and access them whenever you want
  • you can also have an account with your wallet information so that if you are going to buy an app on your phone you do not have to re-enter all your information but instead it automatically charges the game to the card you entered
  • smart phones with special chips that can transmit credit card information and receive store offers.
  •  this wallet also enables you to buy thing online you just have to look for the button that enables you to pay with your Google Wallet.
  • only 2% of the phones have the chip that enables them to pay
  • the technology used to enable this kind of technology is called NFC: near-field communication
  • only 25 of the top 100 U.S Retailers are set up to accept this payment type.
  • purchases you make online are backed up by their fraud protection policy (Google Wallet). 


It connects to me because my phone has this technology and I have a Google Wallet account., I have used this account various times to buy apps I want but I didn't know you could buy with it in online stores.

Will this type of technology strive, succeed?
Will all retailers/stores want to acquire the technology to enable their costumers to use this technology?
