The expansion continues - Android Pay gains support for an additional 31 financial institutions
If you haven't tried contactless payment yet, you really are missing out. Being able to pay for your groceries, dinner, or anything else with nothing but your smartphone really is something straight out of the future. Android Pay is one of the leading mobile payment platforms out there, and the number of supported banks and cards since the service's launch really is tremendous.
Google has been doing a commendable job at getting Android Pay to support as many different financial institutions as possible, and the company has just announced that 31 additional companies now offer support for the service. There aren't any huge names here with this particular update, but an update is still an update.
The list is as follows -
- Allegacy Federal Credit Union
- Bank of Walterboro
- Blueharbor Bank
- Canyon State Credit Union
- City National Bank
- Commodore Perry FCU
- Conservation Employee Credit Union

These new additions follow in the footsteps of Android Pay's release in both New Zealand and Ireland, making it quite clear that Google isn't messing around when it comes to this service. Couple all of this with rumors suggesting that Android Pay could soon make its way to Android Wear, and you're looking at a rather bright future for the mobile payment platform.
