The newly introduced app transitions the traditional payment methods and offers a one-stop solution for a range of digital transaction requirements, enabling users across the country to tap-and-pay in stores, check out online, and access their boarding passes when travelling effortlessly.

While celebrating the accomplishment, Google Pakistan Country Director Farhan Qureshi stated: "More importantly, this launch will go a long way in supporting financial inclusion in Pakistan and unlock economic opportunities for all. It further cements Google's unwavering commitment to Pakistan, reinforcing our belief in its digital future and potential.”
