Interswitch, a leading integrated payments and digital commerce company in Africa, has announced that it will support Google Pay on its Interswitch Payment Gateway (IPG) platform. This means that businesses and individuals in Nigeria can now enjoy the convenience and security of contactless payments and digital storage with their Android devices.
Google Pay is a fast, easy, and safe way for users in more than 70 countries and territories to pay with their Android phone or Wear OS device. Users can simply add their debit and credit cards to the Google Wallet app and feel confident that their financial information is safe and secure when they’re making a purchase or catching a train.
By integrating Google Pay into its Payment Gateway, Interswitch is enabling businesses to access a global customer base while ensuring secure and reliable payments. Merchants can now store payment details within Google Wallet, which facilitates a smoother checkout process on the Interswitch platform, enhancing the user experience. Additionally, the collaboration enables the acceptance of international cards on the Interswitch Payment Gateway, positioning businesses to seamlessly cater to a broader international clientele.
Utilizing Google Pay on the Interswitch platform also ensures safer transactions fortified by advanced security measures. This includes industry-standard tokenization where transactions utilize a virtual card number, adding an extra layer of protection against potential fraud. And in cases of misplaced devices, users can quickly safeguard their information using the “Find my device” function.
