Google Wallet is an incredibly popular Android application that allows users to make digital payments using a virtualized, online wallet. Through linking a credit or debit card, users are able to pay for services both online or in store.

Additionally, users are able to send instant payments to each other. Users consider the application very convenient, easy to use, and painless. It simplifies the frustrating process of entering payment information on websites since the Google Wallet can be triggered on every purchase.

Many prefer Google Wallet over similar services, such as Paypal or the browser's card number autocomplete function, since it stores personal payment information much more securely. All demographic information, card numbers, and other data is completely encrypted.

Unlike traditional banking apps, Google Wallet provides an instantaneously updating payment feed that shows all completed and pending transactions. The app settings can be changed so that a user immediately is notified when a large purchase is made using the wallet.

More and more, in store providers are allowing for customers to pay using a single tap on the card reader. Google Wallet will securely transfer funds to the client, which makes it more convenient than carrying bulky credit cards.

Some entrepreneurs use Google Wallet as a large cash repository for services completed between two peers. Paypal and similar online wallets often have restrictions on the type of services that can be solicited, whereas the Google team never monitors the source of a payment.

Additionally, Google Wallet can be synced with all Google Play rewards for seamless transfers in the Android app store.

If you have a unionized card or non-traditional credit card, the Google Wallet app may struggle to properly sync with your banking information. However, virtually all major debit and credit cards provided through national banks are catered to on the app. Recurring payments can even be fully automated using the Google Wallet.

Ultimately, the Google Wallet application is prized for being fast, simple, and providing one of the most pain-free ways to pay for services on online websites.
