Google Wallet now lets you add recurring bank transfers to top up your Wallet Balance
Google Wallet Gets Some Improvements
It’s been a tough week for mobile wallets with major retailers disabling NFC in payment devices in an effort to block systems that rely on it, such as Google Wallet and Apple Pay. Be that as it may, if you are a Google Wallet user you may be happy to learn that, starting today, you will have more options for adding money to your wallet.
The latest update of Google Wallet allows you to set up recurring bank transfers directly to your Wallet. You can set these up to recur weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. “The feature is secure, and will give you fast access to your money, with no Google Wallet fees.” says Andrew Waterman, Product Manager for Google Wallet in his post.
If you use the tap-and-pay option on your NFC-enabled phone, you can now also set up Low Balance alerts to remind you to top up. Right now tap-and-pay is only available if your Android phone runs KitKat or higher. The latest version of Google Wallet is available for both Android and iOS.
