What even is the purpose of Google Pay? I don't know anyone who actually uses it but some people act like its a necessity? We have cards that you can just tap these days. Isnt that making Google and Apple Pay useless?

It allows you to pay with your phone? I don't even carry a wallet around anymore, just my phone.

I don't know where you're from, but in the UK it's pretty common to pay with Google Pay or Apple Pay. Even had the advantage of allowing you to pay a higher amount than you could with a contactless card.

The point is not needing your card. Where I'm from using apple/google/Samsung pay is very popular. Many young people don't even regularly carry their wallet.
