"Other companies have introduced digital wallets, but ours is unique because of its technology, accessibility and security."

"Finally, something that really works. Merchants and consumers will love it for its convenience and security," said Nandakumar. "This new technology will change payment processing for the better - a long overdue upgrade."
Other digital wallets use Near Field Communications (NFC) that requires special hardware and would work only with specific bankcards. MSL Wallet does not require any special hardware and safely works on all smart phones, with all credit/debit cards and Merchants would never receive sensitive information.
To use the app, the consumer scans a QR code displayed by the merchant to get a unique, random number with blanks. Then the consumer replaces the blanks with a unique Personal Identification Number (PIN) to create a Single Use Digital Signature (SUDS) that the merchant will use to complete the transaction. An email and text receipt is instantly shared with the merchant and consumer.
MSL Wallet App can also be used for many other applications such as logging into web sites without using a user id and password or as a guest pager at restaurants.
