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:

It’s fast. Actually, it’s almost instant. Just wave your smartphone over the symbol + the transaction will be recorded automatically.

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 and risk someone seeing the card number.

It’s convenient. Add multiple cards to your phone or smartwatch and leave overstuffed wallets and purses at home.

It’s rewarding. Be on the lookout for freebies, discounts, and rewards.

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.
