According to Google, Google Wallet launched in Pakistan on Wednesday.
The statement claims Google Wallet makes payments safer, easier, and more convenient. It supports digital loyalty cards and boarding passes. Start by downloading the app from Google Play.
As more Pakistanis use digital payments, Google Wallet offers a secure, seamless, and effective method to shop, travel, and pay, said Farhan Qureshi, Google Pakistan’s Country Director.
He continued, “It will enable Pakistanis to tap-and-pay in stores, check out seamlessly online, and easily access their boarding passes when traveling.
“Google Wallet keeps everything safe, wherever they go. More importantly, this launch would promote financial inclusion in Pakistan and create economic opportunities for everybody, Qureshi said.
This milestone reinforces Google’s commitment to Pakistan and our belief in its digital future and potential.
