About

Google Pay is a mobile payment and digital wallet service developed by Google that enables users to make contactless and online payments using supported Android phones, tablets, and wearable devices.

It supports NFC-based tap-to-pay, secure tokenization instead of sharing card numbers, storage of payment cards, transit passes, tickets, and loyalty cards, in-app and web payments, biometric authentication, and broad compatibility with banks and payment networks in many countries.

Visa is a global payment network processor that enables banks, merchants, and cardholders to conduct debit, credit, and prepaid transactions across more than 200 countries and territories.

It operates a centralized and modular payments network called VisaNet, which supports card-not-present payments via RESTful APIs, token-based mobile and contactless payments, and provides merchants with data analytics and fraud-monitoring tools.
