Best Digital Payment Experience

Does it bother you how quickly user expectations grow for mobile wallets and how little a bank can do in response?

It is tough to keep tech-savvy bank customers engaged so that they spend more, and do so more frequently. It is no less challenging to reach the unbanked and financially underserved with payments and transfers, sometimes due to a lack of infrastructure.

To address these issues and give our customers a competitive advantage in both mature and emerging markets, we created Way4 Wallet. In this solution, we combine in-store, in-app and e-commerce payments for an exciting, personalized customer experience.

Now, you can bring your customers the best in m-commerce, e-commerce and in-store mobile payments. Make their checkouts convenient with QR codes, NFC, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Google Pay, tokenization, mobile coupons, restaurant bill splitting… the list goes on. Reward them with family wallet programs and geo-targeted offers. Entertain them with chatbot banking and gamified personal finance advice.

Way4 Wallet is a single platform to support all kinds of business models . Take a look at the complete list in the Way4 Wallet brochure.
