Android Pay launches in a few weeks(?)

SnowTiger

From the The Telegraph, published in February:

Google's rival to Apple Pay will make its British debut at the end of March, as the web giant attempts to muscle into the emerging mobile payments industry.

The Android Pay system, Google’s second attempt to encourage users of its Android smartphone software to use their device for contactless payments, was rolled out in the United States last September. Google will announce that Android Pay will be available in Britain from the end of next month, industry sources said.

That's good, but I'd rather they first put their resources on fixing the problem with notifications not appearing that has been going on at least since the introduction of Marshmallow.

That's a bit of an esoteric place to post! I've never been on that board, so I think SnowTiger's post will get greater exposure(although I could be wrong).

Exposure yes but I'm at a loss to see what part of Android Pay is actually a credit card?

Should there be a new section for gadgets and electronic payments

Are you sure? The only thing I can find on the Nationwide website relates to the use of PAYM, nothing about Android Pay. And I don't see an App in the UK Play Store yet.

Very sure...

What makes that Android Pay? Why not put up a link to the relevant App?

PS Your phone needs a charge...
