Google Wallet

Google Wallet is a digital wallet platform developed by Google for the Android and Wear OS operating systems. It was originally launched in 2011 as a mobile payment system, then merged with Android Pay to become Google Pay in 2018, before being rebranded back to Google Wallet in 2022 to encompass a wider range of digital items including credit cards, loyalty cards, event tickets, and digital keys.

The service is primarily developed and maintained in the United States, though its infrastructure and software engineering teams are distributed globally. As a digital product, it does not have a physical manufacturing location, but its core development and strategic direction originate from Google's headquarters in California.

Google Wallet is a core product of Google LLC, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. Alphabet is a multinational conglomerate that houses several former Google subsidiaries and remains one of the world's most valuable technology companies, headquartered in Mountain View, California.
