Chrome autofill will show benefits for more US credit cards

Google Pay is getting a handful of updates today centered around Chrome autofill, like expanded card benefit details.

Last year, Chrome’s autofill dropdown menu started showing credit card reward details to help you decide which payment method to use for a transaction. For example, you might see “1.5% cash back” or “3x points on flights” alongside a photo of the card and full name.

Desktop and mobile Chrome now supports over 100 credit cards in the US after initially working with American Express and Capital One.

In addition to Affirm and Zip, Klarna, Afterpay, and other providers will appear as “buy now, pay later” (BNPL) options in Chrome autofill. “Pay over time options” will appear beneath credit/debit cards in the menu. You’re then presented with a list of the various options, and can continue from there with a virtual card generated for this purchase. 

To make “global money transfer easier,” wallet.google.com and Google Search (when you look up currency exchange rates) will “show straightforward fee and exchange rate information with remittance providers like Ria Money Transfer, Xe and Wise.” “Compare quotes & send money” appears below the chart with the ability to specify the amount. In the Wallet website, there’s a new “International transfers” page. 

Google will also let you send funds with those services “from the U.S. to India, Brazil, Mexico and the Philippines.” 

…with Stripe processing the funding transaction.

This is still in testing and coming soon.
