Google Wallet

Google Wallet, made by Google LLC, is a digital wallet that gathers payment cards, passes, tickets and IDs into one Android app. Its main job is contactless payment in shops, alongside checkout on websites and in apps wherever Google Pay is accepted.

Paying in a store works by enabling NFC, unlocking the phone and holding it near the terminal until a check mark appears. According to the listing, the store receives a virtual card number rather than the real one. The wallet also stores loyalty and gift cards so rewards are easy to use, and it collects receipts from online and in-store purchases in one list. For travel, users can add airline boarding passes that show updates such as gate changes and departure times, and transit passes can be stored and used to pay fares with a tap. Concert, event and sports tickets live in the app too, as do digital IDs where supported.

The app has 1,000,000,000+ installs and a 4.3 average from about 2.2 million ratings, with 74% five stars and 10% one star. It is free, with no ads and no in-app purchases. It was updated on 2026-09-17, is rated Everyone and requires Android 9 or newer. We list 41 versions; the latest, 26.34.970912840, is 42.6 MB.

Anyone who wants to leave the physical wallet at home more often, especially frequent travellers and commuters, will find it practical. Owners of phones without NFC or below Android 9 will not get the full benefit. Its 41 listed versions reflect steady maintenance by Google.
