The integration with Google Wallet strengthens JazzCash's already robust portfolio of payment options, which includes QR payments, tap-to-pay services, online payments, and debit cards. Customers have a choice of three compatible debit cards: the Mastercard Debit Card, the Women’s Debit Card, and the Virtual Debit Card. The Virtual Debit Card can be set up instantly within the JazzCash app, while physical cards can be requested through the app or USSD against a one-time issuance fee.

Aamir Aftab, Chief Product Officer of JazzCash, said that as Pakistan’s leading fintech platform, JazzCash is constantly striving to foster financial inclusion through innovation.

“We are pleased to announce the integration with Google Wallet, further expanding our commitment to providing flexible and inclusive financial services,” he said.

“This partnership will create an open and interoperable ecosystem, empowering millions of Pakistanis with new technology to perform secure and seamless digital payments.”

He added that partnerships like these are crucial in rendering financial services accessible to all and advancing the nation's cashless agenda.

Adding a JazzCash debit card to Google Wallet is quick and easy. Once linked, users can make payments by simply unlocking their phone and holding it near a payment terminal. This feature offers optimal convenience for the millions of Pakistanis who trust JazzCash for their daily financial needs.

Google Wallet ensures optimal security with multiple layers of protection through tokenization technology, which replaces sensitive card data with a dynamic, device-specific virtual card number. Even if a token is intercepted, it cannot be used for fraudulent transactions.

Moreover, users can further safeguard their accounts using ‘Find My Device’ to lock their phone or erase personal information remotely in case of theft or loss.
