The total value of digital wallet transactions reached $9 trillion, while the global mobile payment market was valued at $72.5 billion.

With FIQ Wallet, users can now invest their earnings directly from their payment wallets without the need to transfer funds to traditional bank accounts, reducing fees and simplifying the process.
