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.

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.

And while you might think it would simply run out of banks eventually, we're already creeping up on 3,000. Helping us along the way to get there, we've got nearly a dozen new banks joining the club.
