Google merges Android Pay and Google Wallet and calls it Google Pay

Google has done a good job with Android Pay, the payment platform of the same company's operating system, which has been used in our country for a few months, and which also has a very simple interface and compatibility with many devices. But Android Pay is not the only (or was not the only) Google payment platform, the firm also had a Wallet, which little by little was losing strength. But it seems that Google has reached an agreement and has decided to merge both services. It's now called Google PayNext, we will tell you about all the functions offered by the renewed mobile payment platform.

What Google has done is combine the two payment services that were active into one. Although if we count the auto-filling of the bank details, there are already three. Android Pay allowed us to have our credit or debit card virtually to be able to pay without having to take out our wallet. It also offered very interesting features, such as paying directly from a store or application. On the other hand, and although we all believed that with Android Pay, Google Wallet would die, the firm used this service to make transactions between equals. The auto-fill option for bank details or cards is a feature of Chrome, which saves our card code to be able to fill it out more quickly.

With Google Pay we will speed up the payment and transfer process

Google has explained that Google Pay will now be more agile to use The renewed platform will be reaching all users in the coming weeks. Little by little, the Android logo will be changed to the letter G. Without a doubt, this is a very strategic step for the American firm. Especially to compete with Apple's mobile payment platform. We will see if the merger of the different services also becomes effective in Spain. We will be attentive to new features of Google Pay.
