Android Pay to be available in five more markets, including Canada and Russia
Google has announced that its mobile payments service Android Pay will soon be available in some new markets. The list includes a total of five names: Brazil, Canada, Russia, Spain and Taiwan. With this, the service would be available in a total of 15 countries around the globe.
The announcement related to expansion was made by Pali Bhat (VP of payments products at Google) in a blog post. In addition, he revealed that the ability to send/receive payments through Google Assistant is also coming soon.
"On your Google Home or Android device, it’s as simple as saying Ok Google, send $10 to Jane for pizza. All you need is a debit card linked to your Google account."
He also said the company plans to soon enable a streamlined mobile checkout experience for PayPal users. The post also discussed the newly-announced Google Payment API.

Finally! I was sick of the fact that Apple Pay was the only way to pay with a phone. Now we need S Pay which is IMO better.
