Mobile Wallet, Faster & More Secure

Along with NFC technology, smartphones also have their own layer of protect with Touch ID, Face ID or passcodes to open the phone and utilize the Mobile Wallet. If your phone is ever lost or stolen, both Apple phones and Android phones can utilize technology to lock the phones remotely.
