Parents can now send money to their kids on Google Wallet.
U.S. parents can set up a secure digital balance on Google Wallet for their kids to tap and pay using Android and Wear OS devices.
As the back-to-school season approaches, Google has introduced a new feature to its Wallet service aimed at helping parents manage their children's finances. This tool allows parents in the United States to create a secure account for kids and teens under 18, providing a cashless solution for school expenses and other purchases.
Parents can easily transfer funds from their own account to their child's Wallet balance, with the added ability to set spending limits and monitor transactions in real-time. By using Google Pay with NFC-enabled Android or Wear OS devices, kids can tap to pay at stores, making it a practical way for parents to teach their children responsible money management and grant them some independence.
Family Link provides parents with complete control over their child's Wallet activities, enabling them to lock or unlock the balance instantly when necessary.
