Alphabet to shut Google Pay in US; India ops unaffected

Google has announced that it will shut payments app Google Pay in the US to simplify app experience for users. The payments major will migrate all users to Google Wallet.

“The U.S. version of the standalone Google Pay app will no longer be available for use starting June 4, 2024. You can continue to access the most popular features — tapping to pay in stores and managing payment methods — right from Google Wallet, which is used five times more than the Google Pay app in the U.S,” it said in a blog post.

Google said that its Google Pay services remain unaffected in other countries, including India.
