Google Pay is Here!

A faster and simpler way to checkout has just arrived. Beginning today, shop easy and securely with the Google Pay App for Android. The App allows you to have a single spot for purchases, passes, payment methods and even gift cards. Google says it is currently working to make the app available in all Google products for a seamless shopping experience across all devices. It is also working with partners online and in stores so users will have the convenience of using Google pay online, in stores, in apps and different places.

Folks over Google will get a lot busier developing the app. For now, here are a few things you can count on with Google Pay.

- The Home tab is packed with information about your recent purchases, nearby stores, quick access to rewards and even useful tips.

- It has a Cards tab to organise credit cards, debit cards, gift cards, loyalty perks, and reward offers which makes it easy to pick what to use during checkout.

-In some cities such as Kiev and London, you can already use Google Pay to pay your fares so you can say goodbye to passes. Google Pay will be available in more cities soon.

-Google Pay adds an extra layer of protection to guard your personal data against security threats. It does not send out your card information when you make payments. Instead, merchants receive a unique encrypted number. If you happen to lose your phone, you can use Find My Device to simply find, lock, and erase your phone.

-It adopts the Android Pay features and retains bank perks of users.

-With Google pay, pay with a few clicks on checkout ( no more payment forms to fill out)

- In the US and the UK, the app will be available to send and request money within a few months from now.
