One of the biggest announcements of Google I/O was the introduction of Android Pay, its an mobile payment solution which is supposed to rival Apple Pay and Samsung Pay. According to an internal notice that’s being passed around McDonald’s in the US, the launch of Android Pay could be just days away.
The internal notice suggests that the service will launch on 26th August, following the launch of Samsung Pay on 21st August. While the latter is indeed incorrect (as Samsung Pay won’t launch until next month).
McDonald’s is set to be a major partner for Android Pay, mainly thanks to over 14,000 restaurants in the US which will all accept Android Pay from launch.As a major partner, McDonald’s is likely to have been informed by Google in advance of Android Pay’s release and while the notice above looks questionable, an image posted on Reddit seemingly looks much more official and confirms the August 26th date.
It is possible we’ll see Android Pay launch in just two days’ time.
