JazzCash Boosts Digital Payments in Pakistan with Google Wallet

JazzCash customers can now add their debit cards to Google Wallet, empowering its over 13 million monthly active app users to make secure and seamless tap-to-pay transactions. By linking their JazzCash debit cards to Google Wallet, users can transform their smartphones into convenient payment tools for effortless person-to-merchant (P2M) transactions.

The integration with Google Wallet strengthens JazzCash’s robust portfolio of payment options, which already includes QR payments, tap-to-pay services, online payments, and debit cards. Customers can choose from three compatible debit cards: the Mastercard Debit Card, the Women’s Debit Card, and the Virtual Debit Card. The Virtual Debit Card can be instantly set up within the JazzCash app, while physical cards can be requested through the app or USSD against a one-time issuance fee.

Aamir Aftab, Chief Product Officer of JazzCash, highlighted the significance of this partnership: “As Pakistan’s leading fintech platform, we are committed to driving financial inclusion through innovation. By collaborating with Google Wallet, we are building an open and interoperable ecosystem that empowers millions of Pakistanis with secure and seamless digital payment solutions. Partnerships like these are vital in making financial services accessible to all and fostering a cashless economy.”

Adding a JazzCash debit card to Google Wallet is quick and effortless. Once linked, users can make payments by simply unlocking their phone and holding it near a payment terminal. This feature offers unparalleled convenience for millions of Pakistanis who rely on JazzCash for their everyday financial needs.

Google Wallet ensures multiple layers of security through tokenization technology, which replaces sensitive card data with a dynamic, device-specific virtual card number. This means even if a token is intercepted, it cannot be used for fraudulent transactions. Additionally, users can safeguard their accounts using ‘Find My Device’ to lock their phone or erase personal information remotely in case of theft or loss.

JazzCash’s innovative approach continues to earn global accolades. The fintech platform recently won the ‘Pioneering Telco to Launch Tap on Phone’ award by Mastercard at Edge 2024 in Dubai. It was also nominated for the ‘Best Fintech Innovation’ category at the Global Mobile (GLOMO) Awards at MWC 2025 for its groundbreaking tap-to-pay solutions for merchants and customers.
