Picture this: You\u2019re in line at the grocery store with a full cart, and you check for your wallet – and you forgot it at home or work. You don\u2019t have time to unload your cart and drive home and grab it, so what do you do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of the better banking experience we provide for our members, Polam is always on the lookout for new and easy ways to enjoy our services. We\u2019ve recently released our Mobile Wallet, which enables Polam members to make purchases at the register using their smartphone or smart watch. And the best part? It\u2019s safe, secure, easy, and free to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Polam\u2019s Mobile Wallet can be used with Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Google Pay on your devices. If you\u2019re still on the fence about this new feature, here are a few reasons why credit union members love it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since smartphones became the norm for mobile phones, it\u2019s rare to find someone who doesn\u2019t leave home without theirs. With just a few quick taps, you can use your device at the register\u2019s credit card terminal – no more fumbling in your purse or pocket for your wallet. If you wear a smartwatch, just unlock and hold your wrist to the terminal. Additionally, more and more online retailers now support mobile wallets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s not uncommon to hear consumers question the security of mobile wallets, because fraud prevention is a concern for anyone who uses a credit or debit card. However, Apple, Google, and Samsung all allow you to remotely wipe your data if your mobile devices or computer have been stolen. As well, Polam\u2019s Mobile Wallet requires authentication in the form of a PIN, fingerprint, or facial ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aside from you physically holding or wearing your device, your mobile wallet is contactless – you simply place your device close to the credit card terminal, and your encrypted data is transferred as payment. If you\u2019re concerned about getting sick, especially as cold and flu season is upon us, Polam\u2019s Mobile Wallet might be a good fit for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
