Google Pay to Cease Operations in U.S., Shifts Focus to Google Wallet

In an effort to streamline payment services, Google announces the shutdown of Google Pay in the U.S. by early June, with Google Wallet taking precedence.

Google will shut down the Google Pay app for U.S. users in early June, aiming to streamline its payment apps by focusing on Google Wallet.
Google Wallet is used five times more in the U.S. than the Google Pay app, indicating a shift in user preference.
After June 4, U.S. users will not be able to request, send, or receive money through the Google Pay app, but can still manage payment methods and pay in stores via Google Wallet.
The Google Pay app will remain available in India and Singapore, catering to the unique needs of users in those regions.
Google Pay users in the U.S. are advised to transfer their balance to their bank accounts by June 4, with the option to manage their balance via the Google Pay website thereafter.
