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.

Monese

- Hold multiple currencies
Мінуси
- Free-plan FX and ATM fees add up
- The company has faced financial-stability concerns
- Not a full bank (e-money)
