The platform supports major credit cards from some of the biggest banks, including American Express, Bank of America, Discover, Navy Federal Credit Union, PNC, Regions Bank, USAA, and U.S. Bank.

Android Pay also supports gift cards and payments within other apps. That last feature isn't yet live, developers will soon be able to add a "buy with Android Pay" for purchases made within their apps.
Android Pay will replace the current Google Wallet app on Google Play, and Google will relaunch a new Wallet app focused on peer-to-peer payments.
