If you have a PayPal account linked to Google Wallet, you’ll need to swap to a credit or debit card instead.​



Google Wallet will soon no longer let you pay with your PayPal account in the US. On a help center page spotted by Android Authority, Google says it will stop supporting the payment method and automatically delete linked PayPal accounts on June 13th, 2025.
The company has also stopped letting users link PayPal accounts to Wallet as of April 11th. Now, users who previously relied on PayPal to quickly connect their payment methods with Google Wallet will have to manually add a credit card, debit card, or bank information if they want to keep using the app.

Read why I have a wise account

Wise took over from Paypal for me, I cancelled my PayPal after they did some stupid shit a few years ago and quite honestly I was tired of the charge backs and insane fees. Once you truly look around in wise you begin to understand, they give me actual foreign bank accounts where I can keep money in local currencies circumventing conversion fees. I usually leave most accounts funded because I use them to pay out of in local currencies as well.

If I go to Mexico I simply make a virtual card using the local currency. I put 1k on the card and it can never be used for more. If I have a shady merchant after I pay I close the virtual card, hit a button make another and transfer the funds to that card.

If my hotel room is $450 I give them the card, after that I can lock or remove the virtual card and they cannot charge another item.

If I get a shady subscription that does auto pay and it's hard to cancel, I make a virtual card, giver it to them, cancel the card when I don't want another charge.

Wise does things nothing else will do, if you ever truly look at them you cannot go back to something else.
