PalawanPay has added Google Wallet support for its Visa Card, allowing eligible Android users to make contactless payments using their smartphones instead of a physical card. The new feature lets users link their PalawanPay Visa Virtual Card to Google Wallet and pay at stores that accept contactless payments through Google Pay's Tap to Pay feature. To use the feature, users need to open the PalawanPay app, go to the Cards section, tap the Tap to Pay GPay button, then select Add to Google Wallet. According to PalawanPay's FAQs, users must have an active PalawanPay Visa Virtual Card, an Android phone with NFC support, an updated Google Wallet app, and a screen lock such as a PIN, password, fingerprint, or face unlock. If users are unable to add their card, possible reasons include outdated versions of the PalawanPay or Google Wallet apps, disabled NFC, unsupported devices, inactive or blocked cards, or temporary system or internet connection issues.
