If you have something stored in Google Wallet, other Google apps on Android phones will have access to this information. Instead, it's truly meant to be a digital wallet that saves any credit and debit cards, passes, proof of vaccination, gift cards, and coupons you'd typically keep in a physical wallet. The Mountain View company is also working to bring its new payment service across to all its other products including Chrome and Assistant, using the cards save to your Google Account.By rebranding to Google Wallet, Google is signaling that the app isn't just for buying things. Google says more cities are also in the pipeline. Google Pay users in cities like Kiev, London and Portland can use their mobile to pay for public transit fares, allowing them to also dispense with their travel passes. In the coming months, users in the US and the UK will also be able to send and request money using Google Pay Send. The Cards tab allows users to store their credit cards, debit cards, loyalty programs, offers and gift cards all in the once place. Google Pay will also auto-complete checkout forms, allowing faster checkout with a few clicks. Most importantly, like Apple Pay, the new app will not share your actual credit card number with retailers, switching to a more secure one-time token generation system.Īt launch, users will be able to use the app where Android Pay was previously accepted, while existing bank perks and protections will remain in place.

The new app largely brings feature parity with Apple Pay, sharing a lot of the same features. Google has launched Google Pay, replacing both Android Pay and Google Wallet in the process.
