Android Pay to launch in UK in few months
Commuters traveling around London will be able to pay using the app on the city's buses, trains and the London Underground, Google said.
Android Pay will support MasterCard Inc and Visa Inc credit and debit cards issued by UK banks such as Bank of Scotland, HSBC, Lloyds Bank and M&S Bank, the company said in a blog post.
The payment platform will also be available at outlets such as supermarket chains Waitrose and Aldi, British sandwich chain Pret A Manger and pharmacy chain Boots.
Android Pay will compete with Apple Inc's Apple Pay, which launched in the UK in July.
