How to send money safely online and avoid financial exclusion as more bank branches close.
Money transfer and e-wallet apps have turned our smartphones into mobile payment devices which means we can now quickly pay for goods and services on-the-go without cash or bank cards. Beyond regular day-to-day reasons you may utilise the apps, these services are also a wonderful way to send a gift to loved ones abroad, be it for birthdays, weddings, or milestones when we can’t physically be there to celebrate together.
Secure access to your phone Most app-based technologies are set up with security in-mind. When downloading a money transfer app, ensure you toggle ‘on’ the option to have any available authentication steps for logging into mobile payment or online banking apps. If you're struggling to remember your passwords, try a secure online password manager tool, like Keeper, that will store your passwords securely.
Ensure the money transfer app you're about to download is well established, reputable, and secure by only downloading apps from your phone's official app store to guarantee its authenticity. Both Google Play and Apple Store demand rigorous methods of quality assurance from all app creators, which allows you to rest assured the apps within the store are safe.
