  • Publication number: 20230084789
    Abstract: The system comprises a user electronic device (200). A processor of the device (200) executes a digital wallet application associated with at least one digitised transaction card. The device (200) obtains user preference information in relation to the digital wallet application (S604); communicates the user preference information to a management server (300, S605); receives, from the management server (300), a notification command for the digital wallet application (S614). The notification command is determined according to the user preference information, and determines the audible and/or haptic feedback to be provided in relation to the digitised transaction card. The user electronic device (200) controls an audio and/or haptic output unit of the device to provide, when the digital wallet application is executed, audible and/or haptic feedback according to the notification command in response to the digitised transaction card being selected and/or used for a transaction.
