Google Wallet is now live in Pakistan, enabling Android users to store digital cards and passes securely. While limited to storage and NFC usage for now, it signals Pakistan’s growing openness to global fintech innovation and cashless solutions.

Google Wallet has officially launched in Pakistan, marking a major milestone in the country’s journey toward digital financial inclusion. The app, which allows users to store and use digital cards, tickets, passes, and payment options, is now available for Android users across Pakistan.
This move follows recent approvals and collaborations between Google and the Pakistani government, aimed at boosting digital infrastructure and expanding cashless transaction options. With Google Wallet, users can save debit and credit cards, loyalty cards, gift cards, and even transit passes all in one app.
For now, the functionality is primarily focused on storing and using existing payment methods rather than making direct peer-to-peer transfers. However, it sets the stage for deeper fintech integration in the future.
Experts believe the launch will especially benefit freelancers, online shoppers, and the growing base of smartphone users. The convenience and security features of Google Wallet also position it as a strong competitor to local digital wallets like Easypaisa and JazzCash.
