Abstract
Today's world is absorbed by digital technology and developments. From daily bread to business, from home to office, the implementation of electronic devices has become an integral part of life.

The study used the chi-square method to analyze and interpret the primary data of 80 respondents. The study implies that today's life is more important to mobile wallets such as Paytm, MobiKwik, Bhim, and free charge.
