Google is working on a debit card

Information about the development of a debit card by Google specialists has leaked to the Internet. Thus, they plan to enter the world of financial services. Apparently, the laurels of the main competitor with its Apple Card haunt.

Internet edition TechCrunch has provided a report, which already has data on the appearance of the future card for Google Pay.

According to the portal, the tech giant plans to provide an opportunity for the owners of such cards to make purchases through contactless payments. The use of the specific functionality of Visa will also be available.

The firm's customer accounts should now work in conjunction with the new mobile banking app. It will provide access to traditional features such as monitoring purchases, checking and transferring balances, and blocking cards.

Google wants to connect with other companies like CITI and Stanford Federal Credit Union.

Several screenshots of the companion attachment are attached to the document. They show that the cardholder will be able to clarify the card balance and data on recent transactions at any time. He will also be able to remember the data about the place where the last purchase was made. The phone number of this trade organization will also be indicated there. This is convenient in case you have any problems with your purchase.

TechCrunch inquired directly about Google's plans for a debit card soon. They did not deny this fact, but nothing new was reported. Apparently, now is not the best time to issue a physical card, as many are sitting at home in self-isolation.

The range of Xiaomi products will soon be expanded with another device. Recently, a roadmap from a Chinese manufacturer was leaked, which contains data on the Mi TV Stick media streamer.

The sales start date has even been named - May 2020.
