Yes. Even before now, you could pay for apps and services on Play store using your Verve card

just dey play

Google transitioning into Fintech is such a great innovation 👍👍

good, when they see that they are loosing a lot of customers to some basic subcription, they are now waking up. Next is paypal. Infact, they can go to hell.
Also stripe/square and the likes supposed to have intergrated nigeria into their portals since its easy to detect frauds now. It will be easy for online enterpreneurs and freelancers to remit money easily. Just look at the large previledges they gave to indians. Nigeria business hub too should put pressure on them to make local business smooth and rewarding.

I think yes, and people can also integrate interswitch payment in their apps and received payment from anywhere through Gpay, don't know if I'm right about this sha.

Hmm, ahh

I hope they don't bungle this

Finally. The beauty of this development is actually the fact that your phone can now replace your ATM for less transactions using NFC.

No need carrying wallets around again.
