MOBILE WALLETS - FAQS

 

What is a Mobile Wallet?

A mobile wallet is a form of wireless payment technology provided by your mobile device’s provider. It allows you to store your Credit Union of the Rockies Visa debit and/or credit card information in a digital, secure, and convenient manner right on your mobile device. Instead of using your physical debit card to make payments, you can pay using your smartphone, tablet, or smartwatch. 

Are Mobile Wallets secure?

Yes. When you add your card to a mobile wallet, the mobile wallet provider does not store your actual card number. Instead, a unique digital account number or token is assigned, encrypted, and securely stored in your mobile wallet compatible device. This number is never stored on the mobile wallet provider’s servers. When you make a purchase, the digital account number, along with a transaction-specific dynamic security code, is used to process your payment. Your actual card number is never shared by the Mobile Wallet provider with merchants or transmitted with payment.
