Using Google Wallet is simple. First, users need to download the Google Wallet app from the Google Play Store. Once installed, they can link their existing debit or credit cards to start making payments instantly. If a card is already saved to their Google account, it will automatically appear in the app.
For those who need to add a new card, the process is quick:
- Open Google Wallet and tap “Add a card.”
- Enter the required details and accept the bank’s terms and conditions.
- Complete the verification process.
- Once verified, the card is ready for use.
