Google Wallet Vs Google Pay: Key differences in a nutshell

With the launch of Google Wallet in India, check out the key differences between the digital wallet app and another app, Google Pay.

Google Wallet has been announced in India with the purpose of working as a digital wallet for users.

While many countries are reportedly merging these two apps, India will be using both apps simultaneously, with different services.

In India, the Google Wallet app will store and allow users to retrieve digital documents such as boarding passes, movie tickets, loyalty cards, public transit tickets, and others.

Whereas, the Google Pay app will function for all the financial requirements and a mode for digital payment.

Therefore, Google Wallet will not allow you to make UPI payments or transfer money like the Google Pay app.

The new Google Wallet app will securely store your credentials and passes which are tagged with QR codes.

Additionally, Google Pay supports NFC technology to store credit card information. However, Google Wallet does not have such a feature.

Therefore, Google Wallet and Pay have different features and services which cater to Indian user requirements.
