Google and Meta widen fintech gap by moving early into India and AI
Google and Meta are both expanding their fintech footprint, but Google has made clearer progress. Forbes reported Google has more than 150 million users for Google Pay, mainly in India and the United States. It credited a utility-focused approach integrating Google Wallet across core platforms and NFC-enabled payments. Google also collaborates with banks and supplies AI and cloud financial solutions. Meta’s efforts have faced trust issues, regulatory setbacks and limited WhatsApp Pay uptake in India.
