The main differences are in security. While Apple uses Touch ID for authentication, the Google Wallet uses a traditional PIN based authentication system. Although the touch ID is easier to use, Google’s PIN ID allows users to access the Wallet on older hardware. Another difference is the way that a user’s card information is saved, but both are secure channels. Google Wallet strives to be a literal virtual wallet so the service tracks all transactions like a receipt. On the other hand, Apple Pay declares it will never track transactions.

- 9. 9| Challenges Lack of users As revolutionary as the Google Wallet was, consumers had no desire to use the product. Since it is a new concept, Google would have to grab the attention of the few early adopters ready to try the Wallet in its initial launch. In addition, Google must compete for users with Apple Pay and PayPal, Security Google had a few problems at first with ensuring that all the user’s personal and credit card information was secure. Consumers will not be willing to put all of their financial data into an app that can’t keep it safe. Lack of NFC enabled devices The Google Wallet may be incredibly useful but if there are not many devices that are compatible with NFC tech, will the Wallet be used at all? Non-NFC devices include the Android 4.0.3 or higher and iOS 6 systems. The Role of Innovation Google entered a market that would define the future. As first movers into the mobile payment technology field, the Google wallet was created to utilize cell phones in order to make the transfer of money more easy, quick, and secure. Instead of creating and implementing their own Wallet reader technology, Google joined in partnerships with MasterCard and Visa to use their NFC readers that were already installed in more than 300,000 locations. This strategy saved them time and prevented extra costs. The multiple channels to access Google Wallet allow consumers to use the service through an app, email, or card. These various aspects of Google Wallet are some of its main differentiating factors from other competitors. The Future Google continues to market the Wallet through ads to gain consumer attention and app downloads. As they increase the number of NFC locations and compatible NFC cellular carriers, the popularity of the Wallet will rise. The Google Wallet is leading the way into the future of money.
