The application will stop working on April 5, install a new one

Payment system Google Pay is currently one of the most used tools for cashless payment in stores not only in the world but also in Slovakia. If you are still using an old version of the application Google Pay, so you should reinstall it soon. According to the portal AndroidCommunity the old version will be down from April 5.

The web version will also not work

Google released a new version of Google Pay last year, but not everyone switched to it immediately. Because the old version of the application is still functional, some users have decided to stay with the version they already know. It won’t take too long. Google has already informed those who have still not switched to the current application that the old version will terminate its transactional purposes. This week, she sent an email to Google Pay users announcing that neither the old app nor the Google Pay website would be able to make a payment transaction from April 5.

For the time being, this date is only officially valid for users in the U.S., but experience shows that it will eventually be extended to all territories where Google Pay is available. This means you won’t be able to use it to send or receive funds, which is Google Pay’s primary feature. In addition to not being able to pay, you will not be able to view your transaction history after 5 April and access your remaining balance.

Slight change in terms and conditions

A new card has also been added, where you can buy goods directly, pay at pumps, car parks or order food. Google says it already works with about 100,000 restaurants. In the application on the next card, companies will also be able to offer discount coupons or cashback promotions. You will need to activate your coupon before you can redeem it.

In addition to the credit card number, bank accounts can also be added to the application and bank transfers can be monitored on them. Google promises not to use this data for targeted advertising.
