The need to carry physical cards is becoming a more archaic practice thanks to the advent of digital wallets like the 'Spendwallet.' With services like Apple Pay, Android Pay and Samsung Pay paving the way for cards becoming a thing of the past, the 'Spendwallet' helps make it easier to do without waiting for brands to catch up.

The 'Spendwallet' is currently available for preorder on Indiegogo and allows users to add all of their [payment cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fidme) to the device. From here, the 'Spendwallet' can then be used as a more effective means of paying.

The 'Spendwallet' digital wallets can be utilized with almost any card given that it has a magnetic stripe. Cards in the wallet can be managed via the accompanying [smartphone app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomad-leather-mag-wallet).
