Privatbank and U.S. company Google implemented the possibility of adding bank cards to the contactless payment service Google Pay directly from Privat24, the bank’s press service reported.
It is noted that such integration will make contactless payments using smartphones available to 6 million customers of Ukrainian banks.
“Considering that Privat24 users on Android devices are three times more than on iOS smartphones, Ukraine can become the first country in the world where the trend of traditional Apple Pay domination in digital wallets market will change in favor of Google Pay”, Sergei Kharitich said.
