Google Pay is Now in Panama at a Bank Near You
Last year, Apple Pay was enabled in Panama so that users could pay and make transactions from their phones and even smart watches. And this week it was Google’s turn. The Google Pay wallet was activated for users of Visa and Mastercard credit and debit cards from several local banks such as Banco General, BAC, Banesco, St Georges, Grupo Promerica and ScotiaBank among others that will update their service. Google Pay serves as a payment gateway through the incorporation of debit and credit cards in the application on the smartphone on devices with Android and Wear OS operating systems.
- The first thing users should do is download Google Wallet on their smartphone from the Google Play Store.
- Add the card information to your Google account and store it securely on the Google wallet platform.
- Google Pay has built-in security, such as fraud alerts and encryption for online payments. And it also allows you to choose the privacy settings.
- In the wallet the actual card numbers remain private.
- If your device is lost or stolen, you can use the ‘Find My Device’ feature to lock it, secure it with a new password, or erase all information instantly.
