Before you use a mobile wallet service, look into what security measures the wallet provides to help protect your card information. With some mobile wallets your full card number is not visible to merchants when you make a purchase. Some mobile wallets also have a way to disable the service if your card or mobile device is lost or stolen. Tokenization creates a unique randomized set of numbers to be used at each new transaction, so your real card number is never used from your phone. For added security on some smart phones, enable the Fingerprint/Touch ID/Facial Recognition security feature.
