Why trust Greenbot
On September 7, Google officially announced a few major additions to the company’s mobile payment option, Android Pay.
One of those major announcements is the integration of Android Pay into Chrome, which will allow customers to visit select websites and use the secure mobile payment option to check out. Websites available in the coming weeks will be 1-800-Flowers.com and Groupon.com, and more websites will be added soon. Integration with Chrome will roll out over the coming weeks.
Integration doesn’t stop there. The company has also confirmed that Uber will integrate with Android Pay and the driving service’s Payment Rewards program. This will allow Android Pay users to access timed discounts without using a code, starting with one that begins today and runs until October 15, which will give 50% off 10 Uber rides.
Finally, new bank support. In the United States, Android Pay now has support from Chase Bank. That includes the Visa Freedom, Slate, Sapphire, United Mileage Explorer and Hyatt Credit Card. All of the rewards and security that card users expect are still tied to purchases made with those cards through Android Pay.
In the United Kingdom, support for TSB and Santander Bank is rolling out over the coming weeks.
