- Google Wallet may soon simplify card enrollment and make it free from contact.
- We have seen a feature that will, when active, will let users add their NFC-competent cards to Google Wallet with only one tap on their smartphone.
- The facility cannot support all cards.
Google is working on a new, more convenient method For Add credit and debit card to Google WalletWe recently handled an APK tear of the latest Google Play Services beta (version 25.16.33) and It turned out that Google has planned to introduce NFC-based card enrollment in wallet with the current card scanning option.
One APK Fur Work-in-Congress helps to predict the facilities that reach a service in future based on the code. However, it is possible that such approximate features cannot make it for public release.
Currently, Google Wallet allows you to add the card by scanning them with the camera or entering the details manually. But soon, you will also be able to tap your contactless cards on your phone to add to your wallet. The new NFC-based option will appear on the “payment method” screen sitting with traditional methods.
Code
Tap to add a card
Hold your card close to the back of your device
until it vibrates
Tap card to phone
This feature will allow your NFC-competent phone to read the required card information. We feel that readable information will include card number and expiration date, and you may have to manually enter CVV code due to safety reasons. After the initial NFC scan, users may still need to complete additional verification stages based on the card issuer.
Although this may look new for some users, similar NFC-based card scanning features are already available in other apps. Like these apps, it is possible that the NFC card reading abilities of Google Wallet may have some limitations. Not all cards can be compatible. This feature can be mainly made towards a standard created by EMV-compliance card, Europe, master card and visa. These EMV cards store data on integrated circuit chips and both support “Duba” (inserted) transactions and contactless NFC payments.
He said, we found nothing in the code to confirm the compatibility details for the convenience. It is not yet clear when the NFC card enrollment facility will officially roll in the Google Wallet, but its presence in the latest beta indicates that a broad launch may not be too far.
