Using a virtual debit card is easy, but using it on a mobile wallet is easier.
You can add your Bento Spend Limit and Fixed Value virtual cards to your Apple Pay and Google Pay wallets To make your on-the-go contactless payments seamless.
Using your Bento cards via mobile wallet brings with it a high degree of convenience and security.
Increased Security
All card and personal information hosted on the Apple Pay and Google Pay wallet systems are encrypted, hence, no one can access them and you do not run the risk of losing or misplacing a card.
To add another layer of security, mobile wallet apps allow you to set up two-factor authentication not only to log in to the app but to process each transaction.
Fast, Contactless Payments
Time is a valuable asset and that is the very essence of making payments via digital wallets.
Making payments via mobile wallets is faster as compared to taking out a card, swiping it, or inserting it into a card machine and waiting for the payment to process.
Anytime, Anywhere
You may not have your wallet on you at all times, but your smartphone is much like your second skin.
Physical and virtual businesses alike have adapted their systems to accept mobile wallet technology, which means adding your Bento cards to your mobile wallet allows you to use your virtual cards at physical locations too.
Quick Access to Unlimited Card Options
Bento offers multiple virtual card options which can be difficult to keep a track of. You can house all your Bento cards on your mobile wallet, making it easy to use them at multiple locations.
