Synopsis
Google Wallet will not be available in India, as Google Pay is already ruling the market here.
Wallet That Holds The Money
Digitising Tickets, Health Cards & More
If you are wondering how your ticket, health cards, drivers license gets into your digitized wallet here are the details: the Alphabet owned company has already partnered with hundreds of transit agencies, retailers, ticket providers, health agencies and airlines so they can create digital versions of their cards or tickets for Google Wallet.
A Google blog post explaining the functions of Google Wallet states that, “You can add a card or ticket directly to Wallet, or within the apps or sites of businesses we partner with, you’ll see an option to add it to Wallet. We’re working on adding more types of content for Wallet, too, like digital IDs, or office and hotel keys.”
It’s An Open Wallet
Currently the Google Wallet is open which means that any developer can use it, and work on it to upgrade it even further. Another interesting feature about this Wallet is that it will be available on budget phones too, and therefore can be used by many people. Users in Singapore and the United States will continue to have access to both Google Wallet and Pay, while in 39 other markets, Wallet will reportedly replace Google Pay.
