Google Wallet

Google Wallet is an Android digital wallet for keeping everyday payment and access items available from a phone. It supports tap-to-pay transactions wherever Google Pay is accepted, along with access to cards, tickets, passes, and other stored essentials. It is listed in MirrorNest’s money category and is intended for people who want to manage these items in one place while traveling, attending events, or shopping.

Users can open Wallet through Android quick settings, the Wallet app on the home screen, or Google Assistant when their hands are busy. Wear OS users can also access Wallet from the main watch face through complications. The app can hold boarding passes, transit passes, concert tickets, loyalty cards, and rewards-related information. In the United States, it can also carry a driver’s license and digital car keys where supported by the described service.

Wallet can surface relevant items at the appropriate time, such as a boarding pass notification on the day of travel. It stores transaction details and can include smart details such as a location obtained from Google Maps. Connections with Google Calendar, Assistant, Search, Maps, Shopping, and Gmail can provide flight updates, event notifications, loyalty information, and imported cards or passes. Travel information can include gate changes and unexpected flight delays, while loyalty details can include point balances and benefits.

Security and privacy are described as built into Google Wallet, although the available information does not specify its technical implementation. The Android platform makes the product suitable for users who want these wallet functions on an Android phone, with additional access through compatible Wear OS watches. The license for Google Wallet is unknown. MirrorNest links directly to the official release instead of mirroring the software.

Free to use — a paid version with additional features is also available.
