Parents can now provide their kids with access to Google Wallet for making payments in stores using their Android devices, reducing the need for cash or cards. Alongside storing passes like library cards or gift cards, parents retain oversight through notifications and the Family Link app. This feature, currently rolling out in several countries including the US and UK, resembles Apple Cash Family, which also allows parental control over purchases, balance visibility, and recurring payment options to manage allowances effectively.
Gone are the days of kids asking their parent to borrow cash or their card when going out with friends. Instead, parents can now give their kids access to Google Wallet for making in-store payments with their Android device.
Kids can also use Google Wallet to store passes to things, including a library card, ticket for an event or a gift card. But, parents have a lot of oversight, such as receiving an email every time their child makes a purchase.
