TechCrunch:
Google is simplifying the way it presents its different payments tools to consumers, uniting them under a new brand called Google Pay. In a Google blog post, Vice President of Product Management for Payments Pali Bhat described this as more of a rebranding than a change to the underlying products or technology. He said the products being brought together include Android Pay (Google’s mobile payments and loyalty platform) and Google Wallet (its peer-to-peer payments app).
Over time, this should make buying and paying through Google less confusing — if you’ve saved your payment information in your Google account, you don’t have to worry which app to use to access that information, because it’s all under Google Pay.
