Google Pay app arrives in Romania
Android phone users in Romania can now use the Google Pay app to make contactless or online payments. Moreover, the app also makes it easier to store flight tickets or loyalty cards.
In addition, Google Pay for Wear OS devices also becomes available in Romania, which makes it easier to pay with a smartwatch.
Currently available in over 30 countries worldwide, Google Pay offers secure payments with multi-level security.
Save and organize your money
Google Pay can also help you save money and redeem offers without the hassle of clipping coupons or copying and pasting promo codes. Look out for offers from brands like Burger King, Etsy, REI Co-op, Sweetgreen, Target, Warby Parker and more in the app. You can activate them with a tap, and they’ll be automatically applied when you pay in store or online.
If you choose to connect your bank account or cards to Google Pay, the app will provide periodic spending summaries and show your trends and insights over time—giving you a clearer view of your finances.
Google Pay can also understand and automatically organize your spending. This lets you search across your transactions in new ways. For example, you can search for “food,” “last month,” or “Mexican restaurants” and Google Pay will instantly find the relevant transactions.
A safer way to pay
It’s important that your money and private information are safe and in your control. Google Pay alerts you when you might be paying a stranger, protects you with advanced security, and gives you transparency and control to choose the privacy settings that are right for you. You can change these settings at any time.
And when you sign up for Google Pay, you choose whether you’d like to use your transaction history to personalize your experience within the app. That setting is off by default, but you can turn it on or try it for three months to see if you like it. At the end of three months, you can decide if you want to keep it on or off.
Most importantly, Google Pay will never sell your data to third parties or share your transaction history with the rest of Google for targeting ads.
Coming soon—a new way to bank
People do almost everything on their phones today, but for many, the way they save, pay and engage with their bank has remained unchanged.
That’s why we’re working with trusted financial institutions to create Plex, a new mobile-first bank account integrated into Google Pay. Plex Accounts are offered by banks and credit unions, include checking and savings accounts with no monthly fees, overdraft charges or minimum balance requirements and help you save toward your goals more easily.
