14 DAY TRIAL // Google has recently announced a new Google Pay experience on iPhone and Android, though the company hasn’t shared the full teaser and actually revealed that more information would be shared tomorrow.
However, Google says that users on iPhone and Android would be provided with a new Pay app that is “designed to help you improve your relationship with money.”
Details are missing right now, but Google claims the new experience would first go live in the United States, most likely with the goal to bring it to international markets at a later date.
Google card maybe?
Google has been working hard on improving Google Pay lately, and earlier this week the service launched in new markets, including in Romania, Austria, Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, and Portugal.
“Mastercard will provide this service in cooperation with various issuers and fintechs including but not limited to Banca Transilvania, Bunq, CEC Bank, Curve, LHV Pank, Monese, N26, Paynetics, Revolut, Swedbank, Unicredit Bank Romania, and Viva Wallet. This new launch is an example of Mastercard’s continued commitment to bring innovation that simplifies people’s everyday daily lives,” Mastercard said in a press release today.
Google hasn’t yet published any announcements on the expansion of Google Pay to more markets, but there’s a chance that more information is shared tomorrow alongside the release of the new app for iPhone and Android devices.
But at the same time, it’s believed that Google might be exploring an approach that Apple has already embraced and could prepare a debit card that would be offered to customers in the United States.
The potential Google Card could thus push Google’s financial services even further, though right now, it’s not yet clear if the search giant is ready to announce this new product or not.
