Coming soon: make your phone your wallet
26. května 2011
(Cross-posted on the
Google Commerce Blog
and
Google Mobile Blog
)
Today in our New York City office, along with
Citi, MasterCard, First Data and Sprint
, we gave a demo of
Google Wallet
, an app that will make your phone your wallet. You’ll be able to tap, pay and save using your phone and near field communication (NFC). We’re field testing Google Wallet now and plan to release it soon.
Google Wallet is a key part of our ongoing effort to improve shopping for both businesses and consumers. It’s aimed at making it easier for you to pay for and save on the goods you want, while giving merchants more ways to offer coupons and loyalty programs to customers, as well as bridging the gap between online and offline commerce.
Because Google Wallet is a mobile app, it will do more than a regular wallet ever could. You'll be able to store your credit cards, offers, loyalty cards and gift cards, but without the bulk. When you tap to pay, your phone will also automatically redeem offers and earn loyalty points for you. Someday, even things like boarding passes, tickets, ID and keys could be stored in Google Wallet.
At first, Google Wallet will support both
Citi MasterCard
and a Google Prepaid Card, which you’ll be able to fund with almost any payment card. From the outset, you’ll be able to tap your phone to pay wherever MasterCard
PayPass
is accepted. Google Wallet will also sync your
Google Offers
, which you’ll be able to redeem via NFC at participating SingleTap™ merchants, or by showing the barcode as you check out.
Many merchants
are working to integrate their offers and loyalty programs with Google Wallet.
With Google Wallet, we’re building an open commerce ecosystem, and we’re planning to develop APIs that will enable integration with numerous partners. In the beginning, Google Wallet will be compatible with
Nexus S 4G by Google, available on Sprint
. Over time, we plan on expanding support to more phones.

This is just the start of what has already been a great adventure towards the future of mobile shopping. We’re incredibly excited and hope you are, too.
