Amazon recently filed the trademark for the "Amazon Wallet" with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office. The filing was done on October 29, but it hasn't been officially formalized yet by the Canadian government. This isn't the first time we've heard of Amazon Wallet. It was first rolled out in the US in 2014 as an all-in-one product for loyalty and gift cards. But this initiative was shuttered after six months.

The filing suggests that Amazon Wallet can be used to store both credit and debit information and as a means to make payments. This feature wasn't available yet back in 2014. We don't know yet what Amazon really wants to do with the Amazon Wallet. But we should hear something soon.
