Summary

  • From June 13, Google will no longer support PayPal integrations with its Wallet app, and linked accounts will be deleted, according to its support page.
  • Google said the decision was due to “improving our suite of payment methods available to our users.”
  • The Google Wallet app will still be available for payments, but users will need to manually enter card details instead of using their PayPal accounts.
  • PayPal-branded debit cards will still be accepted.
  • The two firms have been partners since 2017 when PayPal added support for then-named Android Pay in its app.
  • The breakup of the partnership comes as PayPal continues to evolve its own digital wallet, adding a feature for money pooling and NFC payments on iPhones.
