That is why Dukascopy Group is focusing on extending its services and providing its clients with electronic money services. This is a fast-moving and innovative sector as consumers and businesses are increasingly comfortable with the idea of a cashless economy and replacing physical money with intangible electronic money.
Electronic money or e-money is a digital equivalent of cash, stored on an electronic device or remotely at a server. Electronic money exists exclusively equal to amount of fiat currency (any legal tender designated and issued by a central authority that people are willing to accept in exchange for goods and services, because it is backed by regulation and because they trust this central authority) exchanged into electronic form. Electronic money is not a cryptocurrency, which value, in contrast is determined by supply, demand and trust in the system.
One common type of e-money storage is the "electronic wallet" - eWallet or a digital wallet, where users hold certain amounts of money for multiple reasons, this can include e-money transfer from one person to another or purchasing items online via computer or by using a smartphone to get goods from shops. Increasingly, digital wallets are being made not just for basic financial transactions, but also to authenticate the holder's credentials.
