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.
Výhody
- Free to use — Google charges no fee
- Stores cards, transit, loyalty & event passes
- Tokenized payments for added security
Nevýhody
- No own account or balance in most markets
- Sending money to friends only in India and Singapore
- Feature set varies widely by country
N26
N26 is a Berlin-based mobile bank with a full German banking licence and €100,000 deposit protection, offering a polished app and fee-free card spending at the mid-market rate.

Výhody
- Full German banking licence, €100k protection
- No FX markup on card spending
- Clean, well-designed mobile app
Nevýhody
- EUR-only account; not truly multi-currency
- Available only in select European markets

Záverečné zhrnutie
Celkovo sa Google Wallet dostáva dopredu so skóre 4.3 oproti 4.0 — no správna voľba závisí od vašich priorít. Pred rozhodnutím porovnajte obe s vašou vlastnou krajinou a využitím.
