#Google Pay availability

After months of speculation and heavy anticipation, you can now use Google Pay in your Google Wallet in the Philippines This we discovered just now by trying to add one of our local VISA cards in Google Google Wallet. Your Google Wallet will then ask you which service you want to use by default and it includes your credit card, GCash, UnionBank, Samsung Pay, etc but we still have to verify if all of these will actually work with local POS. To use Google Pay, your smartphone must have NFC supported. More details on this as we explore the Google Pay services available in the Philippines. Reports have noted that Google Pay is set to launch in the Philippines this November. The service, developed by Google, enables users to pay in-store, online, and in apps using their mobile devices. Unlike e-wallets, Google Pay does not store funds but securely saves credit or debit card details for transactions. Google Pay uses near-field communication (NFC) technology to enable tap-to-pay features.
