I would love a credible competitor to Paypal.

Google's branding, though, is confusing and may hold this back.

There's Google Wallet, Android Pay, and now this. This is probably related to one of the previously mentioned ideas, but it isn't mentioned on the page.

Trying it out, seems like it's powered by Google Wallet, so there should be at least some convergence, hopefully?

Yes, it's mostly a market messaging thing. Like when they killed Google checkout and said "some" functionality went to Google Wallet.

They really need a more consistent brand and message if they want the general public using these things.

Oh, and they are also shutting down the somewhat related "trusted stores" program.
