Although the United States may be Google Pay’s biggest market, the service is indeed accessible worldwide. Now available to many more customers as a result of the latest update.
Google Play Store for Android is now available in even more countries, including:
- Bermuda
- Cambodia
- El Salvador
- Guernsey
- Kosovo
- Morocco
- Nicaragua
- Panama
- Paraguay
- Tajikistan
However wait, there’s extra! Following its initial availability in 15 countries mere months ago, the website allowing users to manage their Google Wallet and Google Pay accounts, pockets.google.com, is now expanding globally to a total of 43 countries.
Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, 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, United Kingdom, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam.
As part of its ongoing effort to make Google Pay and Pockets accessible to all users, we can expect Google to expand availability on more countries in the coming months through pockets.google.com, with no need to worry if your nation isn’t initially listed. It’s only a matter of time before the service goes live in the announced countries, so let’s exercise some patience.
Google has announced that, in addition to loyalty cards, film tickets, and boarding passes, digital tickets purchased through Gmail will now be accessible within Google Pay, with users receiving an email confirmation from their Gmail account after making a purchase.
Google Pay has updated its technology to comply with the VDV and Motivek specifications for secure mobile ticketing in Germany.
Developers are thrilled to learn that the closed-loop transition API now facilitates seamless interactions between physical and digital cards.
Finally, to further elevate the skills of Google Wear OS users, Google introduced Wear OS support for categorized passes, archive functions, and unreadable passes.
