Joseph Chan-AsiaPay- Premier digital payment solutions | The Enterprise World

The nature of payments has changed drastically over the years. What with the rise in technology, and people adapting to it so easily, going cashless is what everyone prefers now. A few years ago, paying with cards was a very rare thing; e-payments were far away. But in today’s world, card payments and online transactions are a part of the routine.

This digital wallet, which is sometimes also referred to as the e-wallet, is an online payment service with the help of which one can make payments online. The individual’s bank account is linked to the digital wallet, and he/she can then make payments easily. Such is the nature of digital payments. It provides ease in making payments. And because these wallets are linked to bank accounts, the details are safe with the individual. And also there is a lesser risk of being robbed, as there is barely any hard cash involved.
