Google Wallet
Google Wallet is the default Android tap-to-pay app, free to use in the countries on Google's supported list, storing payment cards alongside transit, loyalty and event passes. It charges no fee of its own, deferring to your card's terms, but sending money to friends is only offered in India and Singapore. The natural everyday wallet for Android users.

Alipay
Alipay is one of China's two dominant payment super-apps, with over a billion users and QR-code acceptance across virtually all Chinese merchants, bundling payments, transfers, investing and lifestyle services. Foreign visitors can pay via the Tour Pass feature but face FX spreads and verification hurdles. Essential for spending in China but of limited use elsewhere.
