Operating agencies identify customers, and manage digital RMB wallets in layers according to the strength of customer identification, and assign different types of wallets with different per-transaction and daily transaction limits and balance limits based on the strength of their real names.

The four types of digital RMB wallets with the lowest authority are anonymous wallets, with a balance limit of 10,000 yuan, a single payment limit of 2,000 yuan, and a daily cumulative payment limit of 5,000 yuan.

  According to different carriers, digital RMB wallets can be divided into soft wallets and hard wallets.

  Soft wallets include mobile payment apps and services provided by software development kits (SDKs); hard wallets include IC cards, wearable devices, and Internet of Things devices.

For example, we launched a hard wallet product with a health code function for the elderly, which not only provides safe and convenient payment functions, but also facilitates the daily travel of the elderly under the prevention and control of the epidemic.

  According to the attribution of authority, digital RMB wallets can be divided into parent wallets and sub-wallets.

The wallet holder can set the main wallet as the parent wallet, and can open several sub-wallets under the parent wallet. Individuals can use the sub-wallets to realize functions such as limit payment, conditional payment, and personal privacy protection in payment scenarios.

For example, if you want to hide private money or something, you can also manage the function of gifts from relatives; companies and institutions can use sub-wallets to realize functions such as fund collection and distribution, accounting processing, and financial management.
