Google Wallet is set to launch in Pakistan by January 2025 as part of Google’s plan to expand its services globally. Along with Pakistan, the digital payment service will also roll out in Egypt and Venezuela. This information comes from leaked developer notes, though neither Google nor the Pakistani government has officially confirmed the news yet.
The launch of Google Wallet will allow users in Pakistan to store and manage various types of payment cards, loyalty cards, tickets, and more in one convenient app. This development is expected to give a significant boost to Pakistan’s rapidly growing fintech sector, which has been expanding thanks to the increasing use of smartphones and digital financial services across the country.
By entering the Pakistani market, Google Wallet will provide tough competition to existing local digital payment platforms such as Easypaisa and JazzCash. This competition is likely to drive innovation and improve the overall experience for users.
The introduction of Google Wallet in Pakistan also highlights a major step forward in connecting the country to the global digital financial ecosystem. It reflects Pakistan’s growing importance as a market for advanced digital technologies and services.
