5 Reasons to Use a Wallet App to Pay for Dinner

The quiet life on Long Island isn’t immune to the quick changes of technology. Kids walk to school while texting, toddlers at the grocery store often have their mom’s phone in a firm grasp, and you can’t go to a café or restaurant without noticing an option to pay with your phone. It’s called a mobile wallet and more than 150 million people use this payment option for nearly every transaction.

Now, a new mobile wallet called Cinch is available at your favorite restaurants in Rockville Centre and you can be one of the first to try it!

Here are five reasons to try Cinch.

Cinch is more secure than your credit cards or cash. That's because the information stored in the app is encrypted so the details of your credit card aren't accessible to others. When you pay with Cinch, the app never pays with your actual account numbers.

Your dollar stretches up to 30% further. Because we work closely with local businesses, we extend and offer great bonuses for you.

Cinch supports local businesses. Cinch shares you new restaurants, bars and shops to try and old favorites like Frank’s Steaks, Tony Columbos and The Tavern.

Gives to the community. A portion of each dollar spent locally is donated back to a local nonprofit of your choice.

Weekly bonuses. Cinch and its partner businesses give you bonuses for paying with and loading money into your Cinch wallet. You gain exclusive access to special offers to neighborhood favorites like:

• Random Acts of Kindness Day. Refer a friend and get $25 when they load $10 or more on February 17th!
• Long Island Happy Hour Weekend! Any purchase made February 23-25 with Cinch between 4-6pm, gets you 50% bonus (up to $20). Food and drinks only.

Visit Cinch at cinchkey.com for details and the list of participating businesses, nonprofits, and current bonuses.
