Google has launched its mobile payment service, Google Wallet, in Pakistan. The service facilitates online payments as well as in-app and in-person contactless payments via mobile devices, now available through Google Wallet in Pakistan.

Setting Up Google Pay

Using Google Wallet in Pakistan is simple. Download Google Wallet from the Google Play Store. If you have an eligible credit or debit card saved to your Google account, it will automatically appear in Google Wallet. Follow the on-screen instructions to set it up for contactless payments.

To add a new card, tap “Add a card” in the carousel at the top of the page. Review and accept the issuer’s terms and conditions, then complete the verification process. Your card will be tokenized and ready for use in Google Wallet.
