An in depth look at Google Wallet mobile application relying on device NFC technology

1. By @TindiKitindi

3. What is it?
• Android app that makes
your phone your wallet. It
stores virtual versions of
your existing plastic cards
on your phone. Simply tap
your phone to pay and
redeem offers using near
field communication, or
NFC.

4. N.F.C.
• Technology that allows for simplified
transactions, data exchange, and wireless
connections between two devices in close
proximity to each other, usually by no more
than a few centimeters.

5. • Payments, offers, loyalty, and so
much more
• Google Wallet has been
designed for an open commerce
ecosystem: an open commerce
ecosystem focused on arming
developers and merchants with
the technology tools needed to
define the future of commerce.

6. • It will eventually hold many if not all of the
cards you keep in your leather wallet today.
And because Google Wallet is a mobile app, it
will be able to do more than a regular wallet
ever could, like storing thousands of payment
cards and Google Offers but without the bulk.

7. • Eventually your loyalty cards, gift cards,
receipts, boarding passes, tickets, even your
keys will be seamlessly synced to your Google
Wallet. And every offer and loyalty point will
be redeemed automatically with a single tap
via NFC.

9. Payments
• Give your smartphone
some credit .
• Tap your phone to pay with
the virtual credit cards
stored on your Google
Wallet.
• Citi® MasterCard® credit
cards, and the Google
Prepaid Card.

11. Cards
Citi MasterCard
• It’s easy to set up a Citi MasterCard
with Google Wallet. If you already
have a card, open Google Wallet and
enter your account information.
Google Prepaid Card
• The Google Prepaid Card is a virtual
card that you can fund with any of
your existing credit cards..you
activate the Google Prepaid Card

12. Offers/Loyalty
• Google Offers are deals on
products and services at
local or online businesses.
Whenever you buy or save
a Google Offer, it
automatically syncs to your
Google Wallet so your
offers are always with you.

13. Security
• Google Wallet is designed
and engineered to enable
safe, secure payments.
• Google Wallet stores your
encrypted payment card
credentials on a computer
chip on your phone called
the Secure Element.

14. • The chip is designed to only allow trusted
programs on the Secure Element itself to
access the payment credentials stored therein.
• The secure encryption technology of
MasterCard PayPass protects your payment
card credentials as they are transferred from
the phone to the contactless reader.

15. Advantages
• It will not disrupt the business model currently in
place between banks, payment processors and
merchants, as Google is not seeking a percentage
of the payment transaction fee.
• It enables the provisioning of multiple bank and
credit cards, making it accessible to all banks.
• It will enable merchants to connect their Google
online and mobile advertising directly to offline
purchases through Google Offers.
