digital wallet
Tap-to-pay app
A digital wallet is software or an online service that stores payment information—credit cards, bank accounts, cryptocurrency—allowing transactions without physical cards or cash.
Apple Pay, Google Wallet, and PayPal are common examples.
Digital wallets may also store tickets, boarding passes, or loyalty cards: I added the concert tickets to my digital wallet.
