Mobile Wallets - Payments Made Easier
The easy, secure and contactless way to
make payments with your mobile device!
Your Casco FCU debit and credit cards can easily be added to mobile wallets such as Apple Pay & Google Wallet. Quickly and conveniently make payments in-app, online, or at a brick-and-mortar business using your phone! Mobile wallets can make your checkout faster and easier.
Many of your favorite retailers also have digital wallets tied to their apps. Amazon, Starbucks, McDonald’s, PayPal, Venmo, and others also provide the option to save your card within their app for easy, fast checkout.
What is a digital mobile wallet?
Apple Pay and Google Pay are mobile wallets that provide a convenient way to store your Casco FCU debit and credit cards so you can make purchases using just your computer, mobile phone, or smartwatch rather than your physical card.
Are mobile wallets secure?
Mobile wallets are more secure than physical cards because mobile payments are heavily encrypted and tokenized, meaning that none of your actual card or account numbers are stored within the mobile wallet. Fraudsters can’t access your Casco FCU card information thanks to the encryption and tokenization. If a store or company ever experiences a cyberattack, your card numbers and private information won’t get stolen!
Not only is your information more secure thanks to that technology, but also through user verification. This added layer of security is usually done by fingerprint, facial recognition, or PIN.
What are the benefits of switching to a mobile wallet?
Eliminates the need to carry around a wallet with multiple cards, which could be a liability if your wallet or purse is stolen.
Allows you to pay at a point-of-sale without pulling out your wallet in a retail location where you could potentially be targeted for theft.
Online payments are a breeze when you are placing an order and don’t have your physical card or card number with you. And best of all, you don’t have to enter your card number, further preventing fraud.
How to load your Casco FCU debit or credit card in your digital wallet
Smart devices come with the most common apps preloaded. If you have an iPhone, for example, your phone will likely have the Apple Pay wallet already installed. Other prominent mobile wallet app options include Google Pay for Android phones.
