Android Pay

Originally released on September 11, 2015, Android Pay was an app for Android smartphones. It allowed users to add funds and credit/debit cards to a digital wallet. They could use their wallet to make purchases with tap-to-pay and at online stores.

Android Pay was replaced by Google Wallet and Google Pay, as Google has moved all its services under these brand names. Google Wallet stores payment cards and other information for contactless payments, while Google Pay is used for peer-to-peer payments between Android users.

How do I use the tap-to-pay feature for Android Pay?

Tap-to-pay is a feature that utilizes NFC (Near-Field Communication) to allow smartphone users to purchase goods and services. Once you've added a payment source, hold your device near the payment terminal while pressing your finger on the fingerprint reader, or entering your PIN (Personal Identification Number).
