Since Google Wallet has essentially taken the place of Google Pay, Google has announced that Google Pay will close in the US in June. According to the corporation, the change is intended to make its payment apps simpler. The standalone app will only be accessible in Singapore and India when it closes in the US.
Since Google Wallet is the go-to, app for its payment features, it makes sense for Google to combine and streamline its payment apps even though the move may appear abrupt. This will help consumers understand its services better.
The most popular features of the app may still be accessed directly from Google Wallet, which Google claims is five times more popular in the US than the Google Pay app.
The Google Pay app in the United States will no longer allow users to send, request, or receive money after June 4. Up until that time, users can use the app to view and transfer their Google Pay balance to their bank account. After that date, if you still have money in your account, you can access it on the Google Pay website and move it to your bank.
The business claims that users who were able to locate discounts and deals via the Google Pay app can still do so by visiting the new deals destination on Google Search.
For mobile payments, Google Wallet is the company’s principal option in the US and probably always will be. using the help of the app, you may pay for purchases using your phone in-store, book a flight, take public transportation, save store loyalty cards, and use a digital key to start your car.
According to Google, millions of users across more than 180 countries use Google Pay to complete their in-store, desktop, and mobile purchases.
