I believe this is the end of Google's P2P in the US until they rebrand everything as Google Pay again in another 3 years.

(googler, opinions are my own. I work in this space). There are 2 apps here, and their functionality varies by country. Google Wallet is more closely tied into the OS to handle tap-and-pay functionality. In the US (and most of the world), management of your cards happens within the Wallet app (this includes Mobile Drivers License, which works at TSA in airports). Google Pay has been through a rollcoaster in the US. We had 2 versions sort of going at once for a while. The "newer" version included management of cards for tap&pay for a while, but that all got pulled into Wallet stand along. For P2P style functionality, Google Pay in India and Singapore are much more functional/popular. But I think those are the only countries where Google Pay P2P is active. The GPay name is also used for paying online. (using your card-on-file with Google to pay that integrates with a merchants payment processor).

  I think your employer has ADHD. Edit: perhaps, that sounded flippant to those consuming my karma, but that walk through of all the disjointed, scattered and abortive efforts really resonated with me as someone diagnosed with ADHD. It's how I would probably run a company if lacking pressure to channel my distractions into coherent plans.

As an Apple user I cannot fathom working with Google's offerings, they seem in an endless flux of revamps, rebrands, closings and openings.

  I really appreciate this breakdown! This is so much better than the searching I did on my own about a month ago.
