Oh, Google Pay, look how big you've gotten! The service has been growing steadily since the early days of Google Wallet and Android Pay, and we're coming up on one year now following the big launch of the new Pay app. The past few months have seen some milestones of their own, like when Pay managed to hit over 3,000 banks and financial institutions in the US offering support for it. That number's only continuing to grow, and this week we're checking in with the latest US banks to announce compatibility with Google Pay.
Google's unstoppable march continues: the company just won't rest until every financial institution on the planet can use the Google Pay mobile payment system. Over the last few weeks we've been cataloging additional banks added to Google's various support pages, and there's been a notable uptick in new entries. That's especially true for Switzerland, where more than eighty banks added Google Pay compatibility last week.

But while the lion's share of action may be taking place in the States, there's also been plenty of activity occurring in nations all across the globe — and last time we took count, Pay had signed up an additional 61 banks. Now we're rounding up the latest once again, and it's clear that Google's had a busy summer.

Google Pay: Convenient, accessible, an utter joy to use. Cryptocurrency: pretty much the exact opposite of all those things. Of course, despite those setbacks, there are a still a ton of reasons to be excited about crypto, from its use as an investment security to its decentralized nature.

Now Google Pay's getting in on the action, as it adds support for the Coinbase Card.
