Google Wallet App Now Lets You Send Money to Anyone Using Just a Phone Number

Google has updated its Google Wallet app for iOS to let you send money to anyone using just a phone number.

Google Wallet makes it easy to send money to anyone in the US, even if they don’t have an existing Wallet account. All you need is an email address or a phone number. It's fast, easy, and free to send money directly from your debit card, bank account, or Wallet Balance.


Easily split your expenses
Split bills or other expenses with your friends and quickly request the amount each person owes. It’s a simple way to settle up.

Manage your Google Wallet Card
The Google Wallet Card lets you instantly spend money you receive through Google Wallet. You can use it to pay at millions of locations in the US, wherever Debit MasterCard® is accepted, or use it to withdraw cash from ATMs.

Stay on top of your spending
Stay on top of your spending by adding a set amount to your Wallet Balance, or set up a recurring transfer from your bank account. Then easily keep track of all your transactions in the app or at wallet.google.com.

Cash out anytime
You can quickly cash out any money you have in your Wallet Balance using your debit card or linked bank account.


Safe and secure
Google Wallet comes with 24/7 fraud monitoring and covers 100% of all verified unauthorized transactions. If your Wallet Card is ever lost or stolen, you can cancel it using the Google Wallet app or at https://wallet.google.com. If you lose your phone, you can revoke access to it at https://myaccount.google.com.
