Every year, technological advances increase to the point of making the relationship between the device and the user more bearable. An example of this idea is seen with the well-known virtual wallets developed by Apple and Google, respectively. With this option, what the company is looking for is the need to carry a wallet out of sight, as it is now possible to have all kinds of documentation, credit cards, ID or even tickets in the hand of a mobile phone. As far as Peru is concerned, Google has just announced that it will soon reach South American countries with its new service called Google Wallet.
Previously known as GooglePayThis virtual wallet allows Internet users to make payments via a contactless mobile device (using an NFC chip), be it a smartphone, tablet or smartwatch.
Currently, the tech giant’s payment app is available in several countries, including United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Poland, Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Chile and New Zealand.

This news was released through the Xataka technology medium, where it was announced that Google wanted to compete with AppleWalletwhich until recently prevailed in Peru, with its Google Wallet service.
Google, for its part, is trying to make its wallet more complete and able to integrate new functions such as the possibility of adding SIM data.
While we still don’t have an exact date for when this service will arrive, it’s expected before the end of the year.
According to information from Google, this new change is expected to be coming soon to all Android and Wear OS phones in more than 40 countries.
