looks like the big man has some serious competition this year. i do watching the news live from berlin coming up next time magazine shift living in the digital age in the meantime all the latest headlines available 247 on our website d w dot com call aspen i'll be back with more news at the top of the hour. submissive and now open to the silly affectionately agent but as affectionately as you can. remember put him in the middle of his election campaign in the year 2000 the documentary was filmed for russian television. did you turn the camera back on you of course the film secretly chronicled the power grab actually everything was precisely played instructional. featuring top supporting roles to the freedom of

russia. and featuring a lead role like you've never seen before. for the year that amir of itch to the ends justify the means. to tim's witnesses stuart's december 13th on t.w. . this might soon be a thing of the past. when his cash when you can just as easily pay with an a wallet worldwide digital wallets and our smartphones are growing more and more popular what systems on the market how do they differ from one another and how safe are they i would topic so they aren't the. most evil let's com a smartphone apps. biometric solutions to soon your own hand might

replace your wallet a scanner authorize the payment and that's it businesses are paying out on the trend and offering more payment services facebook even announced its own app recently but which one is right for me. that might depend on where you live and what you plan to use it for. a bouquet of flowers without any cash to many it's already an ordinary part of daily life. let users pay quickly and easily there's a wide range of apps to choose from. you can get the wallets through your bank then it's basically an extension of your regular account on your smartphone the other wallets are connected to your mobile plan they conduct transactions via text message there is also a growing number of other providers whether global players for worldwide payments

like google pay or pay pal or a wallets for certain countries in currencies like alley pay in china or pay t.m. in india. the main principle stays the same. are for storing money. the balance usually comes from of bank account or credit card or is topped up in cash the app lets you pay you by clicking a button scan the q.r. code or with near field communication i use it mostly because there really convenient because you can pay everywhere and anywhere with your mobile phone and it takes away the hassle of dealing with cash audit thing with physical credit cards with payments you can just scan a q.r. code and that comes directly from your bank account. user should look out for fees though often sending money to friends is free of charge but many providers make

a profit on other transactions pay pal charges 5 percent on international money transfers for instance that can become costly in the long run. so here's a checklist for finding that your wallet that's best for your needs what countries and currencies doesn't work and how can i top it up what payment options do i have and what does the option i use most cost and as always it's also important to look out for your security personal data. expert julie martin has some basic advice for choosing the right provider look for multiple factor authentication look for making sure that there's a back up. and make sure that they are warning you about how you should and shouldn't be interfacing with the technology. whether or not my money is safe depends on how i keep it live in my wallet is probably a bad idea using 1234 as a password for my wallet also not the best but providers need to maintain security

standards to. technically speaking most do you want to buy serious providers are well protected the data is encrypted and stored on secure service it's recommended to use the wallets which have been checked by at least 2 i.t. security companies one risk remains humans passwords need to be protected and you want to use are a popular target for phishing attacks which enable criminals access to what this digital wallets. this is the power and the danger of mobile banking you are your own bank and if you have bad security practices you lose your phone or something happens then you are the one who is going to suffer the consequences of that like online banking most do you want to use 2 factor authentication for example password and fingerprint what if

a transfer of feels as though some providers have accommodating rules similar to a bank but that is not a given that usually circumvented the middleman making a profit and if there is no longer an intermediary there who is making money off of you. then you have a danger that you're not going to get that charge back there's nobody to charge it to send it back to you. so. some risks but does money always. how does mobile payment compare to other common methods we took a closer look. how secure is using it compared to using a credit card online the only way to answer that question is it depends it depends on the wallets and on the online payment system there are you while it's a systems that are more secure and some of the online payment systems that are in use today and vice versa. i would

prefer the wallet to using the credit card in the store because you've removed the human element you don't have the cashier taking your credit card potentially you know copying it or memorizing it or whatever. and you will it is definitely more secure in the sense that. you don't have to worry about terry physically keeping the cash with you all the time and having enough to pay every time i give my kids cash they seem to lose some of it for example if they never lose their falls. so when it comes to security let's make a good impression but what about user data and the electronic transaction leaves a digital footprint when it comes to wallets that information is not only available to my bank but also to service providers like a pay pal digital wallet is just another step towards transparent customers i mean cash has

a certain anonymity to it that people like. you don't quite have in the same way with with digital currency. digital transactions create footprints which many providers also use they've got about payments absolutely is being used about you absolutely some huge industry people making lots of money by analyzing payment flows from many users however the advantages outweigh the risks. all these private corporations know exactly what you're spending behavior is like what you are like as a shop where your your behavior patterns essentially and that might be uncomfortable for some people but i personally it's not a big issue i would rather my transactions be tracked. back safe rather than not tracked but not saying. in the end

we need to choose what's most important to us. fun fact in germany we're huge fans of hot cash hardly anyone uses wallets here other european countries are less cash crazy in going in a via more people prefer a mobile payment and in many asian countries it has long become a part of daily life china expects harf a 1000000000 customers to use wallets in 2090. and it's no wonder it's simpler less expensive and quicker than your plastic bag if i wanted to transfer money from my regular bank on a friday afternoon for example i have to wait until monday morning for it to be processed when i use my wallet the recipient instantly receives the money along with the message that it has arrived and the best part is i don't always need a bank account for about. the world bank estimates that globally about 1700000000

people don't have access to a bank account for them he wanted could enable access to the financial system. one example is the digital payment system. it started in 2007 in kenya and is available in other african countries in india and in parts of eastern europe. the account is linked to a mobile phone number users can pay bills or transfer money by text message a large network of employees agents allows for the digital wallets to be topped up one of the interesting things about electronic quality is that in places where the banking system is less developed the least developed you find the highest levels of comfort with using digital well that's simply because people will grasp on to any alternative that works back in the unbind has come to facebook's attention to the plan to evolve its caliber is supposed to be integrated into facebook messenger what's up users could then do worldwide payments in facebook's own currency libra

the project has raised international criticism for facebook's entrance on to the strongly regulated financial market should give mobile payments another boost i think most likely in the next 5 years we will see big movements towards global capabilities because of players like we chat and facebook and others these massive platform reach pushing the sector forward and as they. sort of help break down the barriers with governments to get on board and allow this cross jurisdictional use country to country use of these kinds of currency it will become easier and easier . facebook's idea isn't necessarily new ebola it's using crypto currency is bitcoin have been around for years they encrypt transactions with block sharing technology which makes them particularly safe.

crypto currencies only exist digitally and are not regulated by any bank the most well known ones are bitcoin theory and. the term comes from the greek word crypto meaning secret or hidden points toward the cryptographic encryption used for all components of the currency system. this technology is much safer than usual encryptions all information from balance a transaction is secured in a block chain meaning in a cryptographically encrypted protocol this way user data is stored safely. depending on the type of currency some of them are fully anonymous and nobody can see your payment history and that is a much more secure way of maintaining anonymity and payments. could potentially be as secure and more secure than cash. but this anonymity only comes

with specific cryptocurrency the advantages of digital wallets are easy to use they allow for quick transactions with a high level of security at least when you follow basic data protection guidelines one big disadvantage is the sensitive data you leave behind when you pay how much money i spend on water and when is very interesting to businesses and they're willing to pay huge amounts to know what's it like for you. to you use and why. let us know become a part of the shift community on you tube and subscribe to our channel being look at everything from our official intelligence and robotics to gaming and gadgets so you know they are by by.
