Google Pay can now be downloaded from the Play Store in Spain

You probably know Android Pay. It is Google's mobile payment platform, which allows us, as its name suggests, to pay with our mobile using NFC. Just a month ago, the American firm from Mountain View decided to merge Android Pay with its other payment platform called Google Wallet, and put it all together in a Google brand. Google Pay. This renewed payment service has already arrived in Spain, and can now be downloaded from the Google app store.Next, we will tell you about its uses and why Google has decided to change the name of this service.

As we've already mentioned, Google Pay is pretty much the same as Android Pay. Its main feature is to make payments via mobile. Within the app we can add compatible cards and see different information, such as the different recent purchases and Google security. With Google Pay we can also pay through web pages without having to enter bank details. Also, save our account number and bank settings for that. Always with the security of Google. Finally, we must mention that Google has opened a program for developers. In this way, they can make their applications or online stores compatible with Google Pay.

Google has announced that the app is still in a major phase. Later the app will gain strength and new features will be added.

Google Pay, a name change required

It might seem like renaming Android Pay to Google Pay wasn't necessary. But without a doubt, the big G has seen it that way. The Google brand is much larger than the Android brand, this service could be expanded to other operating systems, or even to other devices that lack Android. We must also look to the future, where Android could only be a mobile operating system. We have already seen Google's plans with Fuxia, its new operating system. In this way, they will be able to implement Google Pay without having to create 'another' payment service exclusively for this operating system.
