Google Expands Google Wallet and Issues Own Credit Card

From the first of November, that is, from yesterday, Google has expanded the capabilities of Google Wallet. So, now with the help of this payment service you can make purchases on mobile sites that support Google Wallet.



When making purchases on mobile sites, you usually need to fill in up to 20 different kinds of information fields. At the same time, all this has to be filled using the display of a mobile device and a virtual (well, or real) keyboard. You must enter the credit card number and other data that we usually prefer not to advertise. And Google Wallet will help avoid the need to perform these two tasks.

It's simple - credit cards are tied to Google Wallet, and purchases are made through this payment service. As an example, developers cite the purchase on the gift site 1-800-Flowers.com. Now, of course, the payment service from Google is supported by a very small number of sites, but one must think that the number of such sites will soon increase.



Now Google Wallet allows the following:



- pay without the need to enter a credit card number, billing address or any other payment information;



- link your credit cards to the Google Wallet wallet, and make payments centrally;



- set a certain credit card as a default payment;



- Promoting secure payments with protection from Google;



Google Wallet developers are currently working on the task of expanding the number of sites that support this payment service. So far, all this is relevant to a greater extent for the United States, but perhaps in the near future this payment system will also be supported by resources from Europe and the CIS countries.



By the way, the other day there were also rumors that Google developed a credit card for interacting with Google Wallet. A map selected by the user to work with Google Wallet will be automatically linked to this map. And in a situation when a person cannot or does not want to use his mobile device for payment, it is possible to use this card.







In countries where the use of Google Wallet is most active, the corporation will send a new type of credit card to all interested users.







Google representatives have not yet commented on these rumors.
