Google Wallet is a safe, secure, and convenient way for Android users to store and use their banking cards, passes, keys, tickets, and IDs. Apart from advanced new features, like an option to add passes and tickets directly from photos, availability on Wear OS, and an option to automatically add passes and tickets from Gmail confirmation emails, the platform constantly adds support for new banks.
This year alone, Google Wallet has gained support for more than 30 new banks each month, with more than 140 new banks added since January 2024 in total, allowing a wider range of US users to utilize the platform’s convenience for contactless payments.

Google Wallet is taking center stage
The Google Pay app is shutting down in the US
The app will be killed in favor of Google Wallet in June
Elsewhere, Google is sunsetting its Google Pay app, effective June 4, 2024, and focusing on Google Wallet. Google Pay is now only available on the web as the company’s online payments platform in the US. By consolidating the two applications into a single one, the tech giant aims to offer a streamlined experience for users.
Google says that user information, including forms of payment, passes, tickets, or other items you added to Google Pay will automatically be available in Google Wallet. However, users will need to transfer out any funds that they added to their Google Pay balance before June 4.
