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.

Payz
Payz is the rebrand of ecoPayz, one of the oldest e-wallets (since 2000), run by FCA-regulated PSI-Pay and offering 45+ currencies worldwide with a Mastercard and a tiered VIP programme.

A dependable, slightly cheaper alternative for everyday multi-currency use.
