Next, Wipit took the stage to demo Boost Mobile Wallet:
“Boost Mobile Wallet lets millions of prepaid wireless customers load cash to their mobile wallet account, then use the funds to send international money transfers, pay bills, or top-up their Boost Mobile phone − all from the convenience of Wipit’s Mobile Wallet app on their Android smartphone or iPhone. 
Customers are also provided with a convenient, cost-saving alternative to retail check cashing via Wipit’s in-app Quick Check service. For customers that prefer the convenience of card payments, Boost Mobile Wallet includes a personalized, linked Visa prepaid card that can be used for ATM withdrawals and Visa purchases.”
