Google Wallet Expands to Additional Nations and Continues to Roll Out Updates
Google Wallet has become one of the most popular mobile payment platforms in the US with the addition of support for several dozen US banks and credit unions.
Although Google Wallet may have its largest market in the United States, the program is truly accessible worldwide. And even more people can now use Google Wallet because of the most recent update.
The search engine behemoth just revealed that Google Wallet for Android is now accessible in additional nations, including:
- Bermuda
- Cambodia
- El Salvador
- Guernsey
- Kosovo
- Morocco
- Nicaragua
- Panama
- Paraguay
- Tajikistan
But there’s still more! The website that allows users to manage Google Wallet and Google Pay, wallet.google.com, is now debuting in 43 countries after first being accessible in 15 countries a few months ago:
Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, UK, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam.
This is only the first stage of Google’s “journey of making it available to every GPay and Wallet user,” according to the company. This implies that in the upcoming months, wallet.google.com should be accessible in even more nations.
Remember that the launch of wallet.google.com in the nations this week may take a few days.
Google also revealed that when a user purchases a ticket and receives a confirmation email in their Gmail, train tickets from Gmail are now visible in Google Wallet in addition to loyalty cards, cinema tickets, and boarding permits.
In addition, Google Wallet has been modified to enable the secure mobile ticketing in Germany for the VDV, eTicket Services Motics standard.
The fact that the closed loop transition API now facilitates physical to digital card conversations will also please developers.
