Discover then securely transmits all the information to Google Wallet and you’re done.ĭiscover is one of the smaller credit card companies in the U.S., but given that mobile payment systems and virtual wallets are still a bit of a novelty in the U.S., this will surely raise the overall awareness of mobile payments and also a few new users to Google Wallet. With this tool, Discover users just have to sign in to their regular credit card accounts, find the Google Wallet “Add Your Card” button and sign in to their Google Accounts. Currently users have to type in their credit card number on their phone or on the Google Wallet website.


This is the first time a major credit card company is using this feature. Discover now uses Google’s Save to Wallet API to allow its cardmembers to save their credit card directly to their Wallet account from Discover’s online account center. Today, Google and Discover announced that they are now making it even easier for Discover customers to save their cards to Google Wallet. Google Wallet, the company’s NFC-based virtual wallet for Android, got a major update earlier this month when Google started giving its users the ability to use cards from Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
