Summary
- Google Wallet continues to support more banks with tap-to-pay, expanding its reach nationwide.
- After adding 36 banks or credit unions last month, Google’s support grew by another 25 this week.
- Those using smaller regional banks and member-owned options are urged to try setting up tap-to-pay again.
Big names like Visa, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America are accepted everywhere, but that’s not the case for some of the little guys. If you’re a fan of Google Wallet and its tap-to-pay feature, you’ll be happy to learn that Google recently added support for more banks and credit unions.
While NFC payments and tap-to-pay aren’t available everywhere, they’re widely supported. However, that doesn’t matter if Google Wallet doesn’t work with your bank. Thankfully, the Google Wallet team has been busy so far in 2025. In March, it added over 35 new banks to the list of supported options, and now, we’re getting another 25.

And yes, you can keep a watchful eye on spending and get notified after each payment. Google also improved how you store loyalty cards and gift cards.
Google has also slowly added more functionality to the Wallet app, including the ability to use it for event tickets, digital car keys, transit passes, or even IDs and passports. There are a lot of Google Wallet features you probably don’t know about. Both Samsung Wallet and Google Wallet are great options on Android, and Google’s is getting better each week.
So, the next time you head to the grocery store or shop for some clothes, try adding your small regional bank or credit union to the Google Wallet app. The company is always adding more, and it might be your lucky day with this latest round. You’ll need to try to add your bank card, and if accepted, enable tap-to-pay, and you’re all set.
And if you’re not using it yet, download Google Wallet and get started today. It has quite a lot to offer.
