Google appears to be working on reintroducing Wallet in some manner after incorporating the programme into Google Pay. According to sources, the business is working on a Wallet interface for Google Play Services that will allow you to access and manage your payment and transit cards, passes, rewards memberships, and other assets.
Most of these are currently managed in Google Pay, and it appears likely that you’ll be able to use the new Wallet UI from within that app, which will still be used for contactless payments. The pictures also show a link that says “understand how passes in your Wallet will look across Google,” implying that the cards you put into your Wallet would be available from elsewhere.
Google Wallet debuted in 2011 as Google’s NFC payment software, serving as a digital storage space for payment cards. It evolved as a digital (and sometimes physical) payment service throughout the years to become a Venmo competitor before being merged with Android Pay to form Google Pay in 2018. That software has since been completely redesigned, becoming much more than just a way to send money to friends and store digital cards.
