Let’s be honest– we are all paying attention to our phones most (if not all) of the time. Why not keep your money where your mind is?

Here are 5 reasons to get your digital wallet set up ASAP:

  1. It’s fast. Actually, it’s almost instant. Just wave your smartphone over the symbol + the transaction will be recorded automatically.
  2. It’s secure. All account information is encrypted + no account numbers are actually stored on your phone. Plus you don’t even have to take your credit card out of your wallet + risk someone seeing the card number.
  3. It’s convenient. Add multiple cards to your phone or smartwatch, and leave overstuffed wallets + purses at home.
  4. It’s rewarding. Be on the lookout for freebies, discounts, + rewards.
  5. It’s budget-friendly. It makes life easier to keep tabs on your spending and your budget.

Just like the Amazon Kindle made it easy to carry around hundreds of books, a digital wallet makes it easy to hold all your South State Bank cards + pay wherever you are.
