Google is set to launch its Android Pay mobile payment system in the UK at the end of the month, according to reports.

The Telegraph, citing "industry sources," said Android Pay is expected to roll out across Britain at the end of March, after a successful launch in the US in September 2015.

The system works in the same way as Apple Pay, allowing Android device owners to use their phones like contactless cards when making payments.

I foresee Barclay's Bank launching their credit and debit cards on Android Pay well before Apple Pay.

As someone who has been using Apple Pay since July 2015 I have to say if you've been waiting for this service away from the fruity firm you won't be disappointed.

I forsee Android Pay becoming the standard and forcing Apple Pay out of the market place within 5 years if market share has anything to go by.
