While Google struggled with branding its digital wallet service initially, it has since developed Google Wallet into a compelling and widely adopted product. Available in numerous countries, it supports hundreds of banks and pass providers. For years, Google Wallet has offered the convenience of linking PayPal accounts, saving users from adding payment methods to both services. However, this integration is soon ending, at least for users in the U.S.

U.S. users who have enjoyed the convenience of using their PayPal accounts through Google Wallet will undoubtedly be disappointed by this news. Fortunately, Google Wallet’s support for banks and merchants has significantly expanded since the PayPal integration was first announced years ago. Affected users should check if their preferred payment methods are now directly supported by the service.

On a support page, Google states it will soon automatically delete linked PayPal accounts for Google Wallet users in the U.S. effective on June 13, 2025. Following this, U.S. users cannot relink their PayPal accounts, as Google already halted new signups in April. This means users will no longer be able to access payment methods within their PayPal account for purchases made via Google Wallet.

Affected U.S. users have less than two weeks to continue using their linked PayPal accounts for payments. Google tells impacted users to update their payment methods for any recurring payments before this shutdown. However, this change will not affect Google Wallet users who directly added their PayPal-branded Debit Mastercard instead of linking their PayPal account.

Notably, PayPal recently updated its Android and iOS apps to enable contactless payments for German users. Why the integration would then be maintained in Germany, the first country to receive PayPal’s new feature, is unknown. Lastly, the support page offers no explanation for why the integration is ending specifically in the U.S.
