U.S. Bank Customers Will Soon Be Able to Add Their Cards to Android Pay
U.S. Bank has worked with Google (News - Alert) to make U.S. Bank cardmembers among the
first to have access to Android Pay for credit and debit card
transactions when the service launches later this year. This is the
latest in a series of innovations from U.S. Bank to make payments
simple, more convenient and secure.
"We're proud to be helping our customers tap into exciting new ways to
pay," said Shailesh Kotwal, vice chairman and head of U.S. Bank Payment
Services. "Android (News - Alert) Pay gives our customers added value by providing
another way to use their U.S. Bank credit and debit cards to pay for
purchases with their mobile devices."
"Mobile payments are a big priority for Google so we've been working
with U.S. Bank to help provide a seamless experience across a wide ange
of phones and stores," said Pali Bhat, director of product management at
Google. "Android Pay will offer people further simplicity, security and
choice when paying for things with their Android phones."
With Android Pay, customers can use their Android phones to make
purchases in stores and in apps. It offers a fast, simple and secure way
to use a card to buy things in-app or in-store-all without pulling out a
physical wallet. It's a secure, mobile purchasing system that works with
Android devices running KitKat (4.4) or higher.
U.S. Bank will announce details about the service later in 2015.
