Google Wallet is rolling out in six new markets to add more payment options for users, a press release from the tech giant said.
It will be debuting in Azerbaijan, Iceland, Moldova, Qatar, Serbia and South Africa, offering digital item support for things like loyalty cards and boarding passes.
Those in the six new markets will gain the ability to add payment cards to Google Wallet, paying with their Android phones or WearOS devices anywhere the contactless payments are accepted.
The new wallet will let people move “seamlessly” in society and will come with authentication, biometrics and encryption to allow for privacy options.
Moldova, Qatar, Serbia and South Africa will see Google Wallet available immediately on both Android and WearOS, while Azerbaijan and Iceland will only see the wallet on Androids for now, with WearOS capability coming later.
