Google Wallet Launches in Pakistan: Setup Guide and Supported Banks

Google has officially introduced its mobile payment service, Google Wallet, in Pakistan, revolutionizing the digital payments landscape. This service enables users to make online transactions, in-app purchases, and contactless payments via mobile devices, offering a secure, seamless, and efficient way to handle financial transactions.

How to Set Up Google Wallet in Pakistan

Getting started with Google Wallet is straightforward. Simply download the Google Wallet app from the Google Play Store. If you already have a linked credit or debit card in your Google account, it will automatically appear in the app. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup for contactless payments.

For users without a saved card, adding one is easy—just tap “Add a card” at the top of the app’s carousel. After accepting the issuer’s terms and conditions and completing the verification process, your card will be tokenized and ready for use.
