Since Android Pay launched in May of 2015, new banks and credit unions have slowly but surely started to support the mobile payment system. Just today, it was announced that Chase would now support Android Pay. It also appears, however, that there are over 30 other smaller banks also now adding support…
After a long wait, Google has today announced that you can finally use its mobile payments service, Android Pay, with your Chase bank account.
It’s with great delight that we welcome Chase, one of the largest banks in the US, to the Android Pay family. Starting today, Android Chase customers can add their eligible Chase Visa cards like Freedom, Slate, Sapphire, United Mileage Explorer and Hyatt Credit Card to Android Pay.
Update 5/18: Android Pay has officially launched in the UK. Coming soon to Australia and Singapore.
Update: As many have pointed out, the app is not yet in the Play Store. Google has since pulled the original tweet and commented that Android Pay in the UK is “not quite there yet”. An official announcement will likely coincide with I/O tomorrow.
After announcing plans for Android Pay’s first international expansion in March, Google’s contactless payment service is now available in the United Kingdom. According to the official Android Twitter account, those in the country can now download the app and set up the service.
Google has been heavily marketing Android Pay and encouraging users to set it up on their phones with various offers. In the spirit of holiday giving, every time you use Android Pay, from today until the end of December, Google.org will donate $1 to special needs education.
