The new form of Google Wallet could be a new interface within Google Play Services

But wait, isn't Google Pay already doing that? Yeah, it does. According to Rahman, you will continue to use Google Pay to make payments, and Wallet will be where you will keep your cards.

But how will you access this Wallet interface? From Rahman's screenshots, we assume that the new UI will be accessible directly from the Google Pay app. Also, one of the screenshots says,"learn how passes in your Wallet will appear across Google." This may mean that the cards stored in Wallet could be accessible on other Google services as well.created Google Wallet to function as an NFC payment app and as a place to store your digital cards.

So, if Google Pay already does this, then why bring Wallet back? It seems like a branding choice to make it more obvious which UI does what. Google Pay would be strictly the service we use for payments. And there will be the Google Wallet, where we can manage payment cards, loyalty cards, vouchers, and tickets.

This push to bring back the Wallet branding may also indicate that Google is planning to enhance its functionality — who knows, maybe support for driver’s licenses a-la Apple Wallet?
