Google Pay, a dominant player in the mobile payment services market, has become a staple in the daily transactions of over 150 million users across 42 markets. However, its usage varies significantly across countries. According to AltIndex.com, the app sees much higher usage in India and Poland compared to the U.S. or the U.K.

What Happened? India emerges as Google Pay’s largest market, with a striking 80% of consumers regularly using the app for online or point-of-sale (POS) payments, dwarfing usage rates in other nations. Poland follows, albeit at a distance, with 35% of its consumers relying on the app.

In contrast, more developed countries like the U.S. and the U.K. trail significantly. Only 33% of Americans use Google Pay, with a large proportion of iPhone users preferring Apple Pay. Similarly, in the United Kingdom, only 25% of consumers use Google Pay, with a majority still favouring traditional debit and credit cards.
