Beeda Pay / Digital Wallet?

A digital wallet refers to software, an electronic device, or an online service that enables individuals or businesses to make transactions electronically. It stores the payment information of users for different payment modes on various websites, along with other items such as gift coupons and peer to peer. A digital wallet is also known as an e-wallet.

traditionally carried in the form of a smartphone app, a digital wallet can also exist in other forms, such as a desktop. However, the mobile app is the most popular version of the digital wallet, owing to its mobility and flexibility.

Digital wallets are not only convenient to use in certain cases but also safer than traditional wallets. Users of digital wallets need to download the specific apps created by banks or trusted third parties to avail of the service.

Beeda wallet securely stores all the payment information of users in a compact form. Thus, it greatly reduces the need to carry physical wallets.

Many developing countries now using digital wallets are able to increase their participation in the global financial market.

Digital wallets allow users to transfer funds to friends and family residing in same or different countries.

Types of Digital Wallets

The following are the three types of digital wallets:

1. Closed Wallet

A company selling products and/or services can develop a closed wallet for customers. Users of a closed wallet can use the funds stored to

make transactions with only the issuer of the wallet. The money from cancellations, returns, or refunds is stored in the wallets. Amazon Pay is an

 example of a closed wallet.

2. Semi-closed Wallet

A semi-closed wallet allows users to make transactions at listed merchants and locations. Although the coverage area of such wallets is restricted, both

 online and offline buying can be done through the wallets. However, merchants need to enter into agreements or contracts with the issuers for

accepting payments from the mobile wallets.

3. Open Wallet

Banks or institutes partnered with banks issue open wallets. Users with open wallets can use them for all transactions allowed with a semi-closed wallet

in addition to withdrawal of funds from banks and ATMs and transfer of funds.

Beeda pay/ wallet falls within a open wallet criteria

Beeda Pay/ wallet Functionality

1. Instant Payments Between Wallets

Instant payment means the money transfer between the payer wallet and the payee wallet happens within seconds, instead of within hours or business days.

This feature provides great benefits, such as allowing payments anytime and anywhere, making funds immediately available, and increasing the control of personal and business funds.

In our cashless society, instant payments are more than a good feature. They are becoming inevitable.

2. Payments To And From Bank Accounts

Beeda wallet  allows a seamless money transfer to any bank account, including your own accounts in the same bank, as well as transfers to another person’s account in different banks.

Mobile wallet owners should have a variety of options for sending and receiving personal or business money with just a few clicks wherever they are and whenever they need.

3. Bill Payments/ Mobile recharge

This is one of the critical mobile wallet features because people today prefer to pay every bill online – utilities, mortgages, loans, rent, tuition, to name a few.

As digital cash is here, mobile wallets are becoming an important part of daily life and they should be able to provide an effortless bill payments solution – be it a prepaid or postpaid payment service.

4. Management of Physical and Virtual Card Operations

Beeda Pay store a user’s balance ,credit/debit card data, which can be used to make money transactions at any time. In this way the e-wallet simplifies the user’s finances conveniently aggregating all their cards in one central space.

Furthermore, a mobile wallet is safer than carrying all your cards with you because it doesn’t store card numbers. Instead, card data is encrypted with high-grade security.

5. Merchant Payments via Contactless Technologies (NFC or QR code Scanning)

Needless to say, in our digital world, more and more merchants have started to realize the need for deploying various technologies that accept digital wallets.

Retail clients can make in-store payments using Beeda pay via contactless methods like near-field communication (NFC) and QR-code.

NFC is a contactless remote technology that works within a close distance (up to 10 cm) and provides people with secure payment between POS devices and smartphones.

QR code is short for Quick Response code and is very similar to a barcode. The user can easily scan the QR code via the camera on a smartphone. The smartphone interprets the barcode, and a related application or website opens.

Considering the ever-increasing user demand for contactless transfers and the convenience it offers, providing NFC and QR payment is a must-have wallet feature.

6. Security

When you provide mobile financial services, security comes first. Money transactions have to be safe and secure from end to end.

Beeda Mobile wallets is secured with plenty of robust technologies, such as tokenization, passwords, biometrics, security questions, point-to-point encryption, out-of-band authentication, and one-time password (OTP) via SMS.

Despite the fact that digital wallets are more secure than credit cards, security concerns remain the main obstacle to wallet adoption by consumers.

This is why you need to provide your customers with an m-wallet app that is packed with powerful security capabilities.
