Google Pay Set to Launch in Pakistan by March 2025 #achieveachievements
Google Pay is set to officially launch in Pakistan by mid-March 2025, bringing a major advancement to the country’s digital payment ecosystem. This rollout, confirmed by Google in November 2024, will be supported through partnerships with Visa, Mastercard, and major local banks. Pakistani users will be able to link their bank-issued debit and credit cards to Google Pay via the Google Wallet app, facilitating seamless, contactless payments at compatible terminals across the nation.
The launch will initially focus on enabling basic contactless payments, with advanced features such as loyalty cards and public transport passes to be added in later phases. Google’s collaboration with leading banks aims to meet the technical requirements for the service, ensuring that Pakistan’s infrastructure, which includes over 133,000 POS terminals, is ready for widespread adoption. This marks a significant step toward the country’s push for a cashless society.
Industry experts see the launch of Google Pay as a key catalyst for accelerating digital payments in Pakistan. With the rapid growth of cashless transactions in recent years, Google Pay’s entry will likely boost the adoption of digital payment methods, benefiting e-commerce, retail, and financial inclusion efforts. As the service expands, Google Wallet’s secure, encrypted platform will help users make convenient, contactless payments and store digital credentials, further enhancing the financial landscape in Pakistan.
