Google Wallet Wants To Be Your Only Wallet

Now that Google Wallet is on the scene, is a regular wallet even necessary? Pay without cash or credit card in hand, securely and safely.

Start with a mobile phone

You can very easily use Google Wallet to pay at stores where the digital wallet payments is present by linking your credit and debit cards to a Google Wallet account and downloading the app to your cell phone. You just have to go to the Google Wallet website and set up your account.

Assigning account number

A virtual MasterCard account number is given to any person who uses Google Wallet, and typically that is the number that is charged. Sometimes, when used offline, the preferred card is charged later instead, but typically the master number is used. You can link any card you would like to your account from any card manufacturer. When you make an online purchase, you choose the preferred card you want right then and there.

All account information is stored with the master number rather than on the phone. Then, if your phone gets stolen, you can have anything wiped remotely and have Google Wallet deactivated. This keeps all your personal info from getting stolen by thieves.

Journey with Google Wallet

Though you still need your wallet for things such as driver's licenses, you might be able to keep away from all credit and debit cards on your person. Rather than carrying around cash and cards, you can just take your phone with you. Use Google Wallet instead of carrying around a chunk of plastic to cover things. It will not be long before your driver's license is digitized and also you will not need anything else anymore anyway.
