- 9 years ago
Google's mobile payments service, Android Pay, is making its debut.
The service, which was initially announced in May, lets people with mobile phones running on Google's Android mobile operating system upload credit and debit card information to a "mobile wallet."
Starting Thursday, shoppers will be able to use their phone to pay at more than one million retail stores in the U.S. that have point-of-sale registers equipped with near field communication technology, known as NFC.
Google said Android Pay will support credit and debit cards from the four major payment networks including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
Early partners for Android Pay include Whole Foods, Macy's, and McDonalds.
