Summary

Digital wallets are poised to transform the way consumers shop and pay retailers, restaurants, and service providers. Early wallets are enabling the convergence of offers, coupons, loyalty, and payments. Successful wallets will enhance the consumer's commerce experience by delivering more value, greater convenience, and a contextually relevant, compelling experience. We've now entered a phase in the evolution of wallets that will attract new entrants from nearly every sector of commerce — from technology companies to financial institutions (FIs) to merchants.
