Interswitch, Africa’s premier integrated payments and digital commerce company, has announced that Google Pay would be supported on its Interswitch Payment Gateway (IPG) platform.
This project allows Nigerian businesses and individuals to benefit from the convenience and security of contactless payments and digital storage, in line with a global trend toward more simplified transactions.
Merchants can now save payment information in Google Wallet. This integration speeds up the checkout process on the Interswitch platform, improving the user experience. Furthermore, the agreement enables the Interswitch Payment Gateway to accept international cards, allowing businesses to smoothly cater to a larger international clientele.
Using Google Pay on the Interswitch platform offers safer transactions that are protected by enhanced security measures. This includes industry-standard tokenization, which uses a virtual card number to give an extra degree of security against potential fraud. In the event that a device is misplaced, users can instantly preserve their data by using the “Find my device” tool.
