Google Pay, Google’s service for making payments through the NFC chip incorporated in smartphones and other smart devices like smartwatches, is once again making another change in its branding so that, in countries where Google Wallet was not yet established as the main brand, it would start operating that way.
Currently, in Spain, Google Wallet has been established for some time, after carrying out the relevant rebranding and including these services associated with Google Pay within Google Wallet. In this way, the company continues to try to standardize payment services within the brand that they consider to have a more appropriate and attractive name.
Goodbye to Google Pay in the United States
Despite being the country of origin of Google, the United States is still one of the few places where Google continued to use Google Pay for its payment application, whose services will be mostly transferred to Google Wallet. However, some features will also be lost along the way, such as the ability to request payments from other people.
Google Pay, therefore, as Google has announced, will disappear on June 4th in the United States, India, and Singapore in favor of Google Wallet, which will gain more prominence as a brand associated with money and payments through Google.
Google Wallet service
Google Wallet is available in Spain, and it works on both mobile devices and wearables. In fact, they have also worked extensively on improving its features on watches, providing new functions such as the ability for users to add loyalty cards to the available cardholder from the watch. This way, cards from various brands and stores are also compatible and streamline the user the purchasing process in different businesses.
In addition, this is not the only application that Google has tried to simplify. Another clear example can be found in Google TV, an application that left behind the previous Google Home and also unified various services, such as Google Play Movies, to be part of the own ecosystem of this application, something that benefits its use both on portable smart devices such as mobiles or tablets, as well as on Android TVs.
