Google has announced that it will be discontinuing its long-standing Google Pay app in the U.S. starting June 4th, 2024. The move is part of the company's efforts to simplify its payment options and transition users to Google Wallet, which is more widely used in the U.S. Google Wallet offers features such as storing payment cards, transit passes, and some government identification.
Users of the Google Pay app in the U.S. will have until June 4th to transfer their balances to another bank account. After this date, the app will no longer be operational for peer-to-peer payments or in-app deals. Google has advised users to transfer their balances before the deadline to avoid any issues.
