A Mobile Wallet is a way to carry your debit card information in a secure digital form on your mobile device (smartphone, smartwatch, tablet). Instead of your physical plastic card to make purchases, a Mobile Wallet allows you to pay almost anywhere—in stores, in apps, or online. By storing all of a consumer’s payment information securely and compactly, Mobile Wallets largely eliminate the need to carry a physical wallet enabling payments through your mobile phone or smartwatch.

Unlike cash, which can be stolen, and credit cards, which can be copied, the card information you load into a Mobile Wallet is encrypted. Mobile Wallets replace your actual card number with a unique digital card number. This means businesses do not see or store your full card number. The Mobile Wallet uses tokenization to secure transactions. Tokenization is the ability to create a number, or “token” to represent your debit card. Rather than store card data on your phone, retailers use digital tokens instead of your debit card to process payments and avoid exposing sensitive information. This token is in no way related to your debit card number after its creation.

If the token is captured the person who captures it cannot derive your card number from it. If the phone is lost or stolen, the financial institution can put a stop on the token. Also, if you have the ability to lock down your phone when it’s lost, then there is no way a thief can access your card.

Now you can shop securely without pulling out your wallet. Two Factor Authentication makes transactions even more secure (using fingerprint, PIN or iris/face scan to start transaction). To reduce your risk of fraudulent charges if your device is lost or stolen, make sure to set a strong pass code and enable fingerprint authentication to lock your device once you enable a wallet.

Add your eligible FirstBank cards to the Mobile Wallet you’d like to use. Access your Mobile Wallet and choose your FirstBank card when you check out at a participating business. Receive payment confirmation on your device. Mobile Wallets can be used to pay at millions of businesses around the world.

You need to receive your salary or keep your money in a safe place and manage it. With a new bank account, you can do all these, and even more. Your bank account is identified using a unique account number or UAN. But how do you find your bank account number? Before we explain the ways to find it, we would like you to know what it is.

A bank account number helps identify a bank account, and is distinctively different for every bank account opened. In a way, one bank account is distinguished from another using this unique number. In India, its format differs from bank to bank, where you can find a 11-digit number used by public sector banks and a 12-digit or 14-digit number used by private sector ones. The first few numbers are the codes to help identify the branch of the bank.

For instance, IDFC First Bank account number has 11 digits, with the first few numbers representing the branch code and the product or account type, and the rest the account number opened. This unique code helps identify the IDFC First Bank branch and the type of account easily. Nevertheless, the format of the account number differs depending on the banks’ convenience, as well as ease of use.
