After five years, Google Pay also arrived in Hungary. Mastercard announced Tuesday morning that, in cooperation with its card issuing partners, it will make the mobile payment service available to androids in ten European countries, including Hungary.

Google Pay offers secure, fast and convenient purchases for users with a compatible Android device, whether it be online purchases or contactless payments at well-known credit card stores, the card company said.

Mastercard offers the service in cooperation with various issuers and fintech companies; it is now available in Hungary through the service providers Revolut, Curve and Monese. It is not yet available from domestic commercial banks.

Consumers started using less cash and many opted for a secure, contactless, convenient and fast payment method. And this change is expected to stand the test of time.
