Google is integrating all of its various payment tools into one cohesive solution. Google Pay is the new brand under which Google Wallet, Android Pay, and more will all operate. Which means that from now on you'll only have to give your payment information to Google once. Simples.

Google is such a vast company in charge of multiple products and services that just occasionally things can get slightly messy. Which is the case with Google's digital payment solutions. However, the company is finally bringing all of its various payment tools together as Google Pay.

Simpler, Safer, and More Consistent

Google Pay will replace the likes of Android Pay and Google Wallet, at least in name. The features of these existing tools will remain pretty much the same, but they will be branded as Google Pay, and work as one cohesive solution. Which should save lots of confusion, as well as wasted time.

While announcing the change on The Keyword, Google states that it been "working to make these experiences simpler, safer, and more consistent" over the past year. The result is Google Pay, a brand you can expect to see more and more over the next few months as partners join the ranks.

At launch, Google Pay is available on Airbnb, Dice, Fandango, HungryHouse, and Instacart, as well as some other unnamed website and apps. To encourage people to start using Google Pay sooner rather than later Google is offering money off when you spend certain amounts on certain apps.

In a nutshell, Google Pay means that you'll only have to save your payment information to your Google account once, and the company will do the rest. And it doesn't matter whether you're buying apps from Google Play, paying for things online or in store, or signing up for YouTube Red.

Forging a Seamless Experience for Users

This is a good move by Google, and one that was a little overdue. Branding is important, and so is offering a seamless experience for the users actually using the service(s) you're providing. By bringing everything together under the Google Pay brand Google has made things a lot simpler.
