There ’s a fresh contender in the digital pocketbook area : Amazonhas launchedAmazon Wallet , the e - Commerce Department company ’s would - be answer to PayPal and Google Wallet .
So far , it ’s an funnily lackluster offering with accent on gift notice . If you need to store your credit calling card information or shop class at your pick of online merchants , stick with whatever you ’re doing now , because Amazon Wallet only allow exploiter to store select talent cards and loyalty wit for third - party shopping . For quality merchant , you could check your talent card correspondence . If you snitch within the Amazon web site , the walletwill storeyour credit card information … but the website already did that anyways , so it ’s less an increase in functionality and more of a different name for the same divine service . Overall , the overhaul is more like a water - down Passbook than a true digital wallet .

For mobile users , the Amazon Wallet app is currently in genus Beta , and ships pre - set up on the new Fire phones . you’re able to get it at theAmazon App StoreorGoogle Play . Amazon has the drug user base and the credibility as a retail merchant to contend with Google , PayPal , and other on-line wallet providers , but this half - bake first appearance may derail the company ’s programme to startle into the market . It ’s odd they did n’t wait until Amazon Wallet actually offer something singular , or at least peer - to - match defrayal options . [ TechCrunch ]
