Google Wallet will be available for developers who want to build on it, for things like barcodes or QR codes used for items such as library cards or event tickets. Google Pay will now be for peer-to-peer payments, deals and managing your money, Goldberg said. Google Pay was most recently set to become the anchor of a consumer banking product with checking and debit accounts through partner banks such as Citigroup, but Google dropped that plan last year. Google Pay consolidated other payment services, including one called Android Pay, and a prior version of Google Wallet launched in 2011. Google Pay and Google’s payment products generally have gone through a number of iterations. And I think that's a really important distinction because many of the wallet use cases used to be in Google Pay-now we're pulling them out into Google Wallet,” said Arnold Goldberg, VP and general manager of Payments and NBU at Google.Ĭreating a separate Google Wallet app could bring more clarity for developers and for consumers with the analogy of a physical wallet. “Wallet is a container for all your payments and nonpayment use cases. In India, where Google Pay supports the popular UPI payments system, people will keep the same Google Pay app. and Singapore, where Google Pay is a payments app that people can use for paying friends, finding deals and managing their money, Google is launching a separate Google Wallet app. ![]() These countries include Australia, Brazil, France, Canada, Germany, the U.K. In 39 of the 42 markets where Google Pay stores payments cards and tickets and offers tap-to-pay functionality, Google Pay will become Google Wallet. Google already has the Google Pay app, but that will be changing.
