So Google Wallet is still alive, but now as more of a PayPal competitor
Google can be as straight forward a company as it can be confusing. There are cases like Google Calendar where there are really no other Google services to compete with it, and then there are cases like the mess behind Google’s Hangouts, Messenger, Allo, etc. For a while there, the same could be said about Google’s approach to both Android Pay and Google Wallet, but this just got solved a few minutes ago.
Google has just annouced that Google Wallet has now evolved into more of an online payments service. Think of PayPal if you will, as the service allows you to send and receive money between users, in addition to withdrawing money to your bank account. The new Google Wallet actually doesn’t even need an app, as Google is making it clear that this is more of a web service.
We assume that this will evolve to include more of the integration that we currently see with PayPal, but time will tell.

Google confirms: end of the road for Google Wallet card
There are plenty of ways to conduct transactions with Google’s help: you can place orders online, tap-and-pay with Android Wallet, or send money to your friends with Google Wallet. But for the past few years now there’s been another way to loop Google into the way you make purchases, with the physical Google Wallet card. Designed as a way to let users draw from their Google Wallet balances while shopping at retailers that might not support tap-and-pay tech, the card always felt like a bit of a ...

Google looks like it’s getting ready to shut down physical Google Wallet card payments
Over the years, we’ve witnessed big changes come to Google’s mobile payment infrastructure: Google Wallet has seen its role in tap-and-pay transactions surrendered to Android Pay, largely falling back to second-tier status as a person-to-person payment system. But while you could no longer use your phone at POS terminal to pay for a purchase with Google Wallet, support remained for the physical Google Wallet credit card, introduced back in late 2013 to help facilitate payments at retailers whose ...

Google Wallet learns to send funds with just a phone number – no email needed
When we first heard of Android Pay, we were all ready to whip out a bugle and start playing “Taps” for the fallen Google Wallet. And even though Google Wallet will never again be Android’s home for tap-and-pay mobile purchases, it’s found a new role to fill when it comes to sending money between users. We’ve already seen Google hard at work to keep Wallet relevant, beefing up its account support and ...

Is Android Pay safe?
Android Pay isn’t the first time Google has gotten into the mobile payments business. Google demonstrated Google Wallet way back in 2011, and released it in these United States that September. The Google Wallet used NFC and a “secure element” in your smartphone to take advantage of contactless payment terminals which were slated to replace traditional swipe-to-pay card readers. Since then, Apple has gotten into the game with its own product, Apple Pay, and Google has restructured and re-released its service, this time calling it Android Pay. Despite all the ...

Google Wallet still kicking, gets quick-lock feature and multiple bank support in new update
Google Wallet may be a shadow of its former self, having handed off tap-and-pay functionality to the new Android Pay, but the app’s not going down without a fight, and continues to live on as Google’s solution for person-to-person money transfers. Even with that pared-down feature set, Google’s not putting Wallet on the back burner, and this week we see the arrival of an update that broadens support for payment options while improving app security.Google Wallet already helps secure your funds ...

Android Pay feels like a downgrade from Google Wallet
I was one of the first people in my area to adopt Google Wallet. Everywhere I did business soon knew me as “the guy who pays with his phone” – so long as they were equipped with a compatible terminal. I helped train cashiers how to use this “newfangled” payment method, and even helped identify when terminals were installed – but not configured – to use NFC payments.Google WalletI was also one of the folks who was burned by the “Secure element not responding” bug in Google Wallet on the Galaxy Nexus. For those of you who don’t know ...
