Mobile wallets that allow you to pay using your phone have been around for well more than a decade, and over those years they’ve grown in popularity, becoming a key part of consumers’ credit card usage. According to a "state of credit card report" for 2025 from credit bureau Experian, 53% of Americans in a survey say they use digital wallets more frequently than traditional payment methods. To further incentivize mobile wallet usage, some credit card issuers offer bonus rewards when you elect to pay that way. But those incentives can go beyond just higher reward rates. In fact, mobile wallets in some ways are becoming an essential part of activating and holding a credit card. For example, they can offer immediate access to your credit line, and they can be easier and safer than paying with a physical card. From a rewards perspective, it can make a lot of sense to reach for your phone now instead of your physical card. The Apple Card offers its highest reward rates when you use it through the Apple Pay mobile wallet. Same goes for the PayPal Cashback Mastercard® when you use it to make purchases via the PayPal digital wallet. The Kroger grocery store giant has a co-branded credit card that earns the most when you pay using an eligible digital wallet, and some major credit cards with quarterly rotating bonus categories have a history of incentivizing digital wallet use. But again, these days it's not just about the rewards. Mobile wallets like Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and PayPal can offer immediate access to your credit line while you wait for your physical card to arrive after approval. Indeed, most major issuers including Bank of America®, Capital One and Chase now offer instant virtual credit card numbers for eligible cards that can be used upon approval by adding them to a digital wallet. Additionally, many co-branded credit cards — those offered in partnership with another brand — commonly offer instant card access and can be used immediately on in-brand purchases. Credit cards typically take seven to 10 days to arrive after approval, so instant access to your credit line can be particularly useful if you need to make an urgent or unexpected purchase. Plus, they allow you to start spending toward a card’s sign-up bonus right away. As issuers push toward mobile payments, a growing number of merchants and businesses are similarly adopting the payment method. The percentage of U.S. businesses that used digital wallets increased to 62% in 2023, compared to 47% the previous year, according to a 2023 survey commissioned by the Federal Reserve Financial Services. Wider acceptance is potentially good news for the average American, who according to Experian has about four credit cards. While that won’t necessarily weigh down your wallet, it can be hard to manage multiple cards and rewards categories at once. Mobile wallets offer a more efficient way to store and organize all of your workhorse cards, while not having to carry around ones that you don't use often. They can also help you more easily monitor your spending and rewards, and some even track your orders' status and arrival time. Plus, paying with a digital wallet offers added security. That’s because it uses technology called tokenization when you pay, which masks your real credit card number and instead sends an encrypted "token" that’s unique to each payment. This is unlike swiping or dipping a physical card, during which your credit card number is more directly accessible. And again, because a mobile wallet doesn't require you to have your physical cards present, there's less chance of one falling out of your pocket or purse.

Don’t Skip the Mobile Wallet Step originally appeared on NerdWallet.Mumbai: Overseas investors sold Indian equities worth ₹30,774 crore across 13 sectors between November 1 and 15 according to data from NSDL. They sold the most in the oil & gas sector, to the tune of ₹7,214 crore, in the first half of the month after selling shares of these companies worth over ₹21,000 crore in October. From January to October, foreign investors pulled ₹32,000 crore out of the shares in the oil and gas sector . "The oil and gas sector witnessed the maximum decline in earnings (26% YoY) in the September quarter due to volatility in crude oil prices and falling gross refining margins," said Pankaj Pandey, head of retail research, ICICI Securities. The selling pressure is expected to continue as Donald Trump's return as the US President could push crude prices lower, he said. So far in November, foreign investors sold shares worth ₹25,254.6 crore. This comes after foreign outflows hit a record high of ₹1.04 lakh crore in October following a rebound in Chinese markets and a disappointing corporate earnings season Stock Trading Macroeconomics Made Easy: Online Certification Course By - Anirudh Saraf, Founder- Saraf A & Associates, Chartered Accountant View Program Stock Trading RSI Made Easy: RSI Trading Course By - Souradeep Dey, Equity and Commodity Trader, Trainer View Program Stock Trading Commodity Markets Made Easy: Commodity Trading Course By - elearnmarkets, Financial Education by StockEdge View Program Stock Trading Dow Theory Made Easy By - Vishal Mehta, Independent Systematic Trader View Program Stock Trading Point & Figure Chart Mastery: A Comprehensive Trading Guide By - Mukta Dhamankar, Full Time Trader, 15 Years Experience, Instructor View Program Stock Trading Renko Chart Patterns Made Easy By - Kaushik Akiwatkar, Derivative Trader and Investor View Program Stock Trading Advanced Strategies in Stock Market Mastery By - CA Raj K Agrawal, Chartered Accountant View Program Stock Trading Technical Analysis Made Easy: Online Certification Course By - Souradeep Dey, Equity and Commodity Trader, Trainer View Program Stock Trading A2Z of Stock Market for Beginners: Stock Market Course For Beginners By - elearnmarkets, Financial Education by StockEdge View Program Stock Trading Heikin Ashi Trading Tactics: Master the Art of Trading By - Dinesh Nagpal, Full Time Trader, Ichimoku & Trading Psychology Expert View Program Stock Trading ROC Made Easy: Master Course for ROC Stock Indicator By - Souradeep Dey, Equity and Commodity Trader, Trainer View Program Stock Trading Options Scalping Made Easy By - Sivakumar Jayachandran, Ace Scalper View Program Agencies Financial services continued to bear the brunt of unabated foreign selling, as these investors dumped shares worth ₹7,092 crore in the first 15 days of November. Overseas investors have pulled out over ₹63,000 crore so far this year. "The financial services sector is a proxy to any economy and as the foreign sentiment remains subdued on India amid weaker earnings, no reversal selling is expected," said Siddarth Bhamre, head of institutional research, Asit C Mehta Intermediates. "The pace of selling though may slow down." Pandey said that since we are at an early stage of a rate cut cycle, no major incremental sell-off is likely in the sector post the heavy outflows witnessed already. Overseas investors bought shares worth ₹8,354 crore across 10 sectors in the first half of the month. The Information Technology (IT) sector witnessed a shift in sentiment from foreign investors, as they infused ₹3,087 crore in the sector after they dumped shares worth ₹2,899 crore in October. Automobiles and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sectors witnessed foreign outflows worth ₹4,411 crore and ₹3,589 crore, respectively, after global investors divested over ₹10,000 crore in October in each of the sectors. Foreign investors offloaded shares worth ₹2,136 crore in telecommunications in the first half of November and sold over ₹1,000 crore in metals & mining, services and capital goods. Bhamre said that from a valuation perspective, IT stocks were not as expensive as the markets were at the peaks. "The US Bond yields were factoring in Trump's victory which pushed the yields from 3.7% to 4.4%," said Bhamre. "Trump's fiscal imprudence could lead to higher spending which would be beneficial for IT companies in India that are heavily linked to the US economy." Construction and the sectors earmarked as 'Others' received inflows worth around Rs 1,500 crore each. "The intensity of foreign selling is expected to come down and the worst seems to be behind us," said Pandey. "No big incremental foreign sell off is likely to follow."
