Google has officially introduced Google Wallet in Pakistan, revolutionizing digital payments with seamless, secure transactions.
This launch brings a convenient and efficient way for users to make contactless payments, online purchases, and in-app transactions using their mobile devices.
How to Set Up Google Wallet in Pakistan
Getting started with Google Wallet is straightforward. Users can download the Google Wallet app from the Google Play Store. If a compatible debit or credit card is already linked to their Google account, it will automatically sync with Google Wallet.
Otherwise, users can manually add a card by selecting the “Add a card” option, agreeing to the issuer’s terms, and completing a verification process. Once verified, the card is tokenized and ready for use.
