eWallet does not sit on the phone but on a highly-secure backend platform that has bank grade security and availability, verified and licensed by the Central Bank of the UAE.
Access to eWallet is via your phone and requires a match between your mobile number and your phone. Any change between the two will require a reactivation of the account before any transaction can be completed.
In addition, eWallet requires authentication at every level of transaction. At registration, you will need to set a PIN to protect your account; post this you can set-up the even more secure biometric authentication via fingerprint scan and/or even face ID.
