Without ATM Card, How to use Google Pay
Google has streamlined its mobile payments service, merging Google Pay into the Google Wallet app. For users across regions, this rebrand simplifies how people store cards, pay contactlessly, and organise digital passes – all within one app.
With an official launch in Bangladesh on June 24, here’s what you need to know to get started.

Google Pay is Google Wallet
The Google Pay app’s latest update via the Play Store, will appear as Google Wallet. In most cases, users will either see the new name automatically or be prompted to install the latest version.
Requirements for Google Wallet
To access Google Wallet, users need an Android device running version 9 or higher. In addition, both Google Play Services and the Wallet app itself must be fully updated. Users must also have a valid Google Account and meet age requirements as defined by their region. The app does not support rooted devices or work profiles – only personal profiles can be used.
Downloading and setting up the app
The Google Wallet app is available to download from the Play Store. After installation, users are guided through an initial setup process. New users will be prompted to add a debit or credit card, or a digital pass. The app allows cards to be scanned using the device’s camera or entered manually. If a user previously added cards or tickets through Google Pay, these should automatically carry over to Google Wallet.
For security, users may be asked to set a screen lock on their device during setup.

The rollout will allow City Bank customers to link their Mastercard and Visa cards to Google Wallet and make payments using their Android smartphones at any point-of-sale (POS) terminal that supports contactless transactions.
Moreover, support for cards from other banks is expected to rollout gradually.
