Google has joined forces with Paymark, an electronic payments provider in New Zealand, to offer its mobile payment service Google Pay to the country’s online merchants.
Paymark claims to be the first processor in New Zealand to provide the service and said that it has worked closely with Google on the initiative.
Paymark head of e-commerce Darren Hopper said: “As New Zealand’s original financial tech start up Paymark has always looked to the next innovation, to the next way to make payments easier.
“With more consumers using mobile devices to make online payments, the easier we can make the process the better. Our objective is to completely remove the need to type long and tedious credit card numbers into websites.”

With Google Pay, customers can utilise their card credentials linked to their Google account at the checkout. This eliminates the requirement of typing credit card data.
