With the latest features from Google, Wallet has been your go-to choice for a hassle-free travel experience. It is now only offering “Verification Settings” for Android users. With this month, you can decide when you need a service and which of the features saved in the Wallet account will be used to confirm your identity with your phone’s fingerprint or PIN.
Here’s the deal: Additionally, Google Wallet will require you to prove that you necessarily own the means of payment when making convenient payments for public transportation using your credit or debit card. On top of this extra layer of security, the buyer will properly know that it is the real you who is making the purchase. But, what do you do if you are stuck in a traffic jam and there are no taxis around and you are late for the bus?
The “verification settings” that give you control take your environmental efforts to a new level. You can explicitly exclude transit purposes from verifying checks by locking your phone’s screen to act as verification. With this, you can choose your phone blend in the feature and it is already here. No more than 4 extra steps.
However, Google prioritizes security. If while consuming, if find instead of a transit card at the shop then you will first go for the new latest card received in your wallet. This provides a consistent, enjoyable experience with some level of safe assurance.
This development follows recent rumors of Google Wallet requiring phones to be unlocked in certain parts of the region for tap-to-pay transactions. In the new “Verification Settings” a solution is proposed with a mode to decide the balancing tasks of security and convenience for users, especially those who frequently use public transportation.
So, the next time you run to a standstill, especially during the morning rush hours, you will notice that your commute will become almost 80% faster and easier because of Google Wallet.
