Digital Wallet 101: Turn Your Visa Debit Card into a Contactless Payment Tool
May 2, 2025
In today’s digital world, carrying your wallet everywhere is no longer necessary. With just your smartphone or smartwatch, you can pay quickly and securely using a digital wallet. Whether you're at the grocery store, shopping online, or traveling, adding your First Bank and Trust Company Visa Debit Card to a digital wallet gives you a faster, safer, and more convenient way to access your money.
What Is a Digital Wallet?
A digital wallet is a secure app that stores your debit card, credit card, and payment information on your mobile device. It lets you make contactless payments and online purchases without swiping your physical card.
Some popular digital wallet platforms include:
- Apple Pay
- Google Pay
- Samsung Wallet
Is It Safe to Use a Digital Wallet?
Yes—digital wallets are highly secure. In fact, they offer more protection than a traditional physical card.
Here’s how:
- Tokenization: Your real card number is never shared with stores. Instead, a unique digital code is used.
- Biometric Security: Payments require your fingerprint, face ID, or passcode to be approved.
- Remote Protection: If your phone is lost or stolen, you can lock or erase your digital wallet remotely.
When you upload your First Bank and Trust Company Visa Debit Card, your personal and payment info is protected using the latest digital banking security technology.
