This year has been a busy one for Google Pay, as it tries to gain prominence in a crowded market with competitors like Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and even Walmart Pay.
In September, the service announced that it was working on using QR codes to allow customers to send payments. This would allow people to send money to each other by scanning their phone screens.
Also in September, Australia’s ANZ bank added Google Pay for its personal Visa credit and debit card users. The system lets customers make online or in-store payments, all using the mobile app.
In July, the service launched a new user design. The biggest change was that Android Pay became Google Pay, but the company also introduced a simpler interface. Users were able to see a list of recent spending, with the ability to add and remove payments, manage subscriptions, update billing addresses and make other changes.
