Say hello to Google Pay in Oman and Lebanon

We’re excited to announce that starting today, Google Pay is coming to two new countries in the Middle East and North Africa—Lebanon and Oman—helping you pay fast, simply, and securely with your Android phone and Wear OS devices.

Google Pay allows people to pay and make secure purchases in stores (where contactless payments are accepted), in apps, and on the web. Cardholders will also be able to store credit or debit cards for Google Pay within Google Wallet, a digital wallet that is also launching today.

Cardholders can make safer payments with multiple layers of security. This includes industry-standard tokenization, which means when you use Google Pay to pay, transactions are made using a virtual card number (a token). A Token is device-specific and is associated with a dynamic security code that changes with each transaction.

You can download Google Wallet from the Google Play Store today.
