Taler Wallet

Taler Wallet is an Android application for using GNU Taler. It provides a wallet for electronic payments within the GNU Taler system. The system is designed to protect customer privacy while keeping merchant income visible for purposes such as avoiding tax evasion and money laundering.

The wallet is intended for customers who want to make payments with GNU Taler. Customers can make a payment after their wallet has been charged, without needing to register on each merchant’s website. GNU Taler payments are backed by an existing currency and are exchanged into electronic money through an Exchange service, which acts as a payment service provider for Taler.

GNU Taler is designed primarily for payments rather than for holding money as a store of value. The wallet can limit the consequences of loss or theft to the amount remaining in it. The payment system also avoids exposing credit card information to phishing and is designed to prevent chargeback fraud.

Taler Wallet is listed in the Finance & Shopping category for Android. It is open-source, making it suitable for users who prefer software distributed under an open-source license. MirrorNest distributes the official Android build directly from its own storage and scans it for malware before publishing it.
