required to bring people on board and make them feel comfortable with digital payments,
argues K.V. Karthik, Partner, Financial Advisory, Deloitte.
Experts insist digital payments platforms are fully secure provided the necessary
precautions are taken by the user. “Cash can get stolen and you will have to bear the loss.
However, if there is a fraud related to your debit/credit card then you have a recourse. As
per regulatory guidelines, the banks will investigate the case when you report a fraud and
you will get compensated in case it's not because of lapses on your part,” points out
Karthik. Most popular e-wallet platforms also comply with the latest security specifications
and have added further layers of security, say experts.
However, the existing machinery for protection of consumers requires a huge revamp
before consumers become comfortable with digital payments, says Jayaraman. “As more
and more digital transactions move into the yet unregulated fintech space, proper fraud
prevention, including device fingerprinting and consumer protection mechanisms, needs to
be put in place. There is a definite need to improve the quality of the safeguards,” he says.
However, service providers are taking steps for added protection. Freecharge, for instance,

Nag firmly believes the smartphone will increasingly become the hub for making payments,
but users need to take necessary precautions—keep the Bluetooth switched off, install
antivirus software on the smartphone and not download suspicious files from the Internet.
“Most people today use antivirus software on their desktop computer or laptop, but ignore
the smartphone. It is critical that the smartphone is also secured properly,” says Nag.
Three out of five respondents in our survey admitted to not having installed an antivirus
software on their smartphone. Even if your eWallet app is secure and trusted, you must be
careful about other apps on the smartphone, which can potentially capture keystrokes or
passwords being used for transactions. Most apps nowadays seek access to personal info
stored on the smartphone including documents, media files, contacts, etc.
Similarly, you could expose yourself to risks, if you regularly access public WiFi through
your smartphone or laptop. Three out of 10 respondents in our survey admitted to doing so
at every opportunity. With all the financial information stored in the phone, losing or
misplacing it is almost like losing your wallet. To ensure your critical data is secure, even
when your phone is unattended or lost, the least you can do is enable the phone screen
lock. You can further enhance the security by installing an app lock to protect apps with
sensitive data.
