And maybe for the entire product in its current form.

Google Pay has only existed in its current form since 2018. In previous years, Google first had the Google Wallet since 2011 and later led to contactless payments for smartphones Android Pay one. Later the mentioned merging four years ago. Since then Google Pay has been in an identity crisis and now probably before the next conversion.

Google is now planning again for a new future away from its own bank accounts to offer a pure mobile wallet for Android phones. For this you have recently bought high-ranking people, such as Arnold Goldberg from PayPal. Google resets its strategy and works towards a new future. Even cryptocurrencies should then play a role .

Google Pay may not last forever

“As part of the revision, Google focus more on being a “comprehensive digital wallet” that includes digital tickets, flight passes and vaccination records.”

Google is well known for renaming services from time to time. And Google TV had proven that long-disused designations could celebrate a comeback later.

doesn’t seem to believe the current Google Pay concept

and continues to be in the US only offers, a complete restart would be the best option this time. Already today is

Google Pay not necessarily the correct term for the entire product, but would rather fit a single feature .
