Visa might be everywhere you want to be, but
Google Wallet
isn’t quite as ubiquitous yet. NFC payments are definitely more common than they were just a few years ago — now, you can tap to pay at most big box stores across North America (looking at you, Walmart) — but none of that matters if your bank isn’t supported. Thankfully, Google is still hard at work adding local financial institutions to Wallet, and this month has been particularly fruitful with 36 additions.
36 new banks and credit unions are now supported
Over the course of the last month, we spotted Google making six sets of tweaks to its participating banks page, and we’ve compiled those changes into the alphabetized list below. Counting the nationwide banks like Chase, PNC, and Wells Fargo, the list now includes over 5,000 financial institutions — but the additions lately are almost exclusively smaller banks and local credit unions.

Google Wallet just made it easier for your kids to use your credit cards
Financial exposure or a disaster recipe? You decide
But the work Google has been doing with Wallet lately isn’t limited to bank support. Just yesterday, the company announced a new system that makes it easy to share your credit cards with your kids — with robust parental controls, of course. For a company that has a reputation for chasing moonshots while letting existing services wilt on the vine, it’s clear that Google wants to make sure the little things work just right when it comes to Wallet.
