Alexander. Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) We've all done it, we've left our wallet at home or even worse, lost it. Do you have Apple/Android Pay or another alternative payment method which allows you pay with your phone on the card reader? Barclay Cards aren't compatible with such services so Barclays have installed a contactless mobile payment system into their App for customers to use. My opinion is it's quick and easy to use but dangerous amounts of money can be spent if you have no control.

Android/Apple Pay isn't available in my country so I use a service called Leupay Wallet to pay with my phone. I do find it quite convenient not having to always have to use cash/my credit card/debit card for purchases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyxx Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 In Norway we have something called Vipps which lets you pay using your phone. Other than that I don't really use my phone to pay for things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Norwegian it's a term used for something quick, like "voila" or "presto". So it's meant to indicate it's a very instant way of paying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleopatra92 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I've used it sometimes, but not very often. A lot of places here don't offer it or I'd use it more, because it's a lot faster. The only place that I've been to that has it is the hospital, which I'm not sure why but just seems weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I am using the phone wallets to pay most of the time. And for me that works out for the small purchases. It can be pretty expensive to use cash most of the times. So saving the cashbacks in wallets can be a good option. If there are no cashback option, there does not seem to be need for using those phone wallets. I think there are many phone wallets already out there.

In first world countries, there tends to be a huge amount of choices but in the case of my country, not so many at all. I only use my phone wallets in an emergency situation and nothing else.
