Tech company Google has launched a private digital wallet for Android users in India today i.e. on 8 May. In this app, users can store and use debit cards, credit cards, loyalty cards, gift cards, event tickets and passes, among other things.
This app is different from the Google Pay app, which helps in managing money and finance. To increase its presence in the Indian market, Google has partnered with more than 20 brands. This includes PVR and Inox, Air India, Indigo, Flipkart, Pine Labs, Kochi Metro and Abhibus, among other businesses.
In Google Wallet, users can store Supercoin, Shoppers Stop and other brand gift cards available on e-commerce website Flipkart.
Google Android GM and India Engineering Lead Ram Papatla said, 'Google Pay is not going anywhere. It will remain our primary payment app. Google Wallet is specially designed for non-payment matters.'
Google Wallet is a secure and digital wallet, which allows users to store cards, event tickets and passes, among other things. With the help of this wallet, you will easily find all the cards at one place. Payment cannot be made through Google Wallet.
Whereas, in Google Pay, you can make payment through Unified Payment Interface (UPI). Apart from this, Google Pay also offers the option to pay electricity bill, mobile bill, broadband bill and credit card bill.
