Google Wallet adds support for American Express

Google Wallet has added 29 new US banks for payments, as well as support for American Express.

Google is introducing support for Google Wallet on Fitbit wearables while phasing out Fitbit Pay. The transition is currently underway, with some users already seeing the change. Since acquiring Fitbit in 2021, Google has been gradually integrating services and products under its own brand. Despite the acquisition, certain Fitbit assets, such as the Fitbit Pay app, have retained their original branding. Google recently announced plans to phase out the Fitbit Pay app starting July 29, 2024, with the first changes noticed by Android users in early June.

As part of a system update, Google Play services version 24.25 now enables Google Wallet to support American Express. The rollout is ongoing, so not all users may have experienced this change at the time of writing.

Challenges with phasing out Fitbit

Google's move to phase out Fitbit products and services has not been without challenges, with users encountering issues such as a lack of American Express support and having to re-add Visa cards to Google Wallet to make payments on Fitbit devices, especially among iOS users.

The Wallet app with its latest features is compatible with select Fitbit models, including the Charge 3, Charge 4, Charge 5, Charge 6, Sense, Versa 2, Versa 3, and special editions of Versa 4. Depending on the device manufacturer, alternative payment options may be available, but according to AndroidPolice, by expanding support, Google is hoping to encourage users to switch to Google Wallet.

Recently, Google added 29 new US-based banks to the app, although availability may vary depending on integration timelines. According to the same source, these steps underscore Google's efforts to strengthen its presence in the e-commerce space.
