What is Google Pay?
Google Pay is a payment method provided by Google, available in over 40 countries. It can be seen as the counterpart to Apple Pay, utilising the Wallet app where users store their payment cards. Google Pay supports various payment cards, including debit and credit cards. Naturally, the available payment methods depend on the cards stored in your wallet. Payments are completed with a fingerprint or face scan, ensuring compliance with the Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) regulations outlined in the Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2).
