The most used digital wallets in the United States typically originate from within the country, with only one app reaching a MAU of more than 120 million. This is according to a ranking of the biggest apps that can function as a digital wallet for payments, based on a minimum of 50,000 monthly active users (MAU). Almost all popular wallets in the U.S. come from the country itself, with the likes of Venmo and Zelle being only available to this particular country. Nevertheless, digital wallets are typically not a popular payment method at POS in the United States.

The most used digital wallets in Brazil typically originate from outside the country, with only three apps reaching a MAU of more than five million. This is according to a ranking of the biggest apps that can function as a digital wallet for payments, based on a minimum of 50,000 monthly active users (MAU). Digital wallet use in Brazil is heavily tied to apps from both Latin America and Brazil itself. For example, Argentina's Mercado Libre - Argentina's e-commerce super app and home to the Mercado Pago payment method - had almost three times more users than Amazon. Indeed, digital wallets being used significantly more in Brazil POS than other payment types.
