An electronic wallet (e-Wallet) is a tool for paying for goods and services, a way of storing, flowing funds and exchanging currency on the Internet.
In other words, this is an analogue of a bank account, but more simplified and convenient. At the same time, electronic payment systems (EPS) ensure high reliability and security of accounts. You can register and work with EW through a mobile application or using a computer. And they are suitable for everyone from online stores to cryptocurrency users.
WHAT DO YOU NEED A WALLET FOR?
A wallet, like a bank card, is used for expense and income transactions - payment for goods / services, transfers, replenishment, etc. The question arises, why bother with a virtual wallet? Below I will provide a list that will answer it.
1. Ease of use. EW can be used without opening a bank account. And you can even start a wallet while lying on the couch, and all management processes are carried out on the Internet. Plus, you will not be charged money for its creation and maintenance.
2. Withdrawal of funds. Basically, all systems, for example, services, have the ability to withdraw money only through EW. In this case, you do not have to indicate the card number, validity period and secret code. This means that scammers will not be able to access the account.
3. Convenience of shopping. If you make them using a card, a lot of data is required - card number, service period, etc. And they may not be at hand. To pay with a wallet, you only need a password and a mobile phone nearby.
4. Issuing a card. Many banks - EMF operators issue plastic cards with free service for a small cost. You can choose it with the required period and the necessary functions - for purchases, cash withdrawals, payments in a cafe, etc.
5. Terms of cards. It may be that the wallet card is more profitable in terms of the terms. So, EMF operators often offer discounts, bonuses and cashback. Therefore, you can compare these offers with your bank's loyalty program. Perhaps, in some cases, you will get more benefits by using an e-wallet.
6. Permanent access. Electronic systems are not tied to a specific country, and they can be used from anywhere in the world.
7. Fast enrollment. The funds will come instantly, whether it is a withdrawal or a transfer to another wallet, and it does not matter whether it is weekdays or weekends.
WHICH WALLET IS BETTER TO START

I'll make a reservation right away, the conditions are constantly changing, so when you decide to connect the service, then go to the official sites and clarify the nuances. I will give you the basic criteria so that you understand the general essence of what to pay attention to.

TYPES OF WALLETS
Web wallets are divided in different ways, but we will present them in two forms: anonymous and non-anonymous, since there will be significant differences in their use and capabilities.

Here are the best options that will solve many problems at once. All the differences on them are in the table - I'm talking about cards, currencies, referral programs, etc., so you can compare and choose the best one for yourself.

An option that no bank will offer: an account without identification. And if it is important for you to have an anonymous electronic "wallet", then feel free to choose any of the list below.
There is, however, one caveat: if the account in the EPS is not verified, then be prepared to set restrictions. You will not be able to send money from such eq to people and withdraw them. As for replenishing an anonymous wallet, you yourself can do it from your bank account or mobile phone balance. But other people are prohibited from replenishing your EC, funds can only be transferred by a company or individual entrepreneur.
