Google wallet for iPhone is now improved as Google allows single sign on access, add credit card and debit card information by photos and Google Physical wallet card. Google wallet can be accessed by single sign on access instead of sign in Google wallet for every time you need to use.
What is Single Sign On Access?
Single Sign On Access is the one in which the user will be automatically signed in to Google products if the user is signed in to any of the Google products in that device. If you is signed in for YouTube or in Blogger or in Gmail or in any of the Google product and when you access Google Wallet it will be automatically signed in.
Google Wallet allows you to save credit and debit card information. This can be done by simply taking the photos of the credit or debit card using Google wallet app. The card number and the expiry date and other information are automatically detected from the photos via OCR, you can now attach the information to the wallet. These facilities are made available for the android users since the last month and now iPhone users can enjoy this.
A major improvement made by the Google Wallet in US is that US based user can apply for the Physical Google Wallet card. Google wallet physical card can be used to pay for the purchases in any maestro card locations. You can withdraw money from any of the ATM locations. Some charges are collected for transactions made in or out of the Google wallet.
Charges are collected for adding money to wallet account from credit or debit card. Charges are also collected for transactions made out of the wallet account to credit cards and debit cards. For checking balance and withdrawing money in ATM Google wont charge but some banks may charge you. All other transactions and maintaining balance in Google Wallet are free of charge.
