ewallet

Virtual payment holder

An ewallet, also spelled e-wallet, is a digital system for storing payment information and making electronic transactions.

It functions like a physical wallet but exists as software on a smartphone or computer, holding credit card details, bank account information, or digital currency.

Users can pay for purchases, transfer money, or store loyalty cards without carrying physical cards.

I added my credit card to my ewallet so I can tap to pay at checkout.
