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.

Skrill
Skrill is a Paysafe e-wallet built for paying online merchants and trading platforms, with several currency balances and an optional prepaid Mastercard.

Use it where a merchant asks for Skrill, not as your multi-currency account.
