You already have a Chase app. You’ve got Venmo.

Your bank does everything digitally now.

So, why is everyone talking about “digital wallets” as if they’re revolutionary?

I often buy crypto late at night, especially on weekends.

Last weekend, after reading about Tesla’s share price surge, I opened my trading app, only to realise the stock market was closed for the weekend.

I had forgotten that stocks don’t trade over weekends. Even when the market reopened on Monday, I’d likely pay more and a commission fee.

That’s when the penny dropped! Banking apps and digital wallets might look similar on your phone screen, but they’re built for completely different worlds.
