And credit card giant Visa and search behemoth Google are likely to be among the first to face off in the market as they each try to convince consumers to ditch their real wallets for ones that store credit cards and other information on their cell phones. In May, Visa and Google announced separately their plans to offer a so-called digital wallet or an application that stores credit card and rewards information to enable people to use their phones to pay for things. The hope is that these digital wallets in conjunction with near-field communications technology , a short-range wireless technology that allows people to swipe a phone for payment, will replace the need for a physical wallet.
