Samsung has been closing its own preparations for the company’s mobile Payment service, a direct competitor to Apple Pay. That will be announced next week, but another mobile giant will be entering the mobile payment market too this year… Google. Mountain View is readying its own system that will be called Android Pay, and it will be announced at the company’s I/O developer conference in May.
Yes, Google Wallet already exists and is much the same deal; it seems that Wallet will stick around alongside Android Pay. One added feature that the new service will bring to the table is the ability to register directly with a bank card without having to use Google Wallet. Android Pay is unlikely to be as robust as Apple Pay or Samsung’s upcoming offering, but it is evidence that Google too is looking into this new avenue in the mobile industry.
