Google has announced that it will shut payments app Google Pay in the US to simplify app experience for users. The payments major will migrate all users to Google Wallet.

“The U.S. version of the standalone Google Pay app will no longer be available for use starting June 4, 2024. You can continue to access the most popular features — tapping to pay in stores and managing payment methods — right from Google Wallet, which is used five times more than the Google Pay app in the U.S,” it said in a blog post.

Google said that its Google Pay services remain unaffected in other countries, including India.

“We want to help make this transition as smooth as possible. Anywhere you normally use Google Pay — from checking out online to tapping and paying in stores — remains the same. And for the millions of people who use the Google Pay app in India and Singapore, nothing will change as we continue to build for the unique needs in those countries,” it added.

US users can continue to view and transfer funds to their bank account after June 4, 2024, from the Google Pay website.

“You can download the latest version of the Google Wallet app for Android on Google Play. You can also access and manage your cards on the Google Pay website,” it said.
