Google Wallet receives major upgrade in security and compatibility

Today Google has released a major update for Wallet, probably the most important for the application so far. In addition to providing support in the cloud, Google Wallet is now compatible with all credit and debit cards major-VISA, Discover, American Express, etc.-one of the main constraints that prevented the service grow and become more popular among users .

Since submission service, one of the main problems was compatibility. Both devices such as credit card, available only for MasterCard and prepaid debit included in the application. With the opening up major lending institutions, we expect a greater number of users for the first time using Google's service, although remain available only in a limited variety of devices.

Another change coming with the update security concerns. Although towards the beginning of the year reported serious vulnerabilities in Google Wallet, has worked to correct that aspect. It also adds another layer of security with the ability to disable it remotely. In addition to security you get with the PIN number, Google Wallet will now offer the ability to delete their information and disable accounts remotely in case of losing the device.

Another interesting improvement is that Google Wallet tries to make everything in the cloud and not on your device. Google now stores information about your cards in the company's servers highly secure, rather than in the security area of your smartphone. With this update Google has placed special attention on making its service reaches all over the world and that is reliable, two key aspects that Google Wallet become as popular as they claim the Mountain View.
