Moneybase, the fastest-growing digital payments and card issuing platform in Malta, has announced that its cardholders can now make payments using Google Pay and add cards to their Google Wallet directly from the Moneybase app.

Moneybase worked closely with Compass Plus Technologies, an international provider of retail banking and electronic payments software, to launch the new service. The move makes the Malta-based Fintech company the first in the country to offer Google Pay to its customers.

All Android users can now add their Moneybase cards to their Google Wallet directly in-app, which has recently been made available in Malta. Google Pay brings lots of benefits for Moneybase cardholders, it’s a fast, simple way to pay online, in-app, and in-store using the cards saved to the user's Google Wallet. With Google Pay, Moneybase cardholders can complete transactions easier and faster by tapping their phone for secure contactless payments. 

“We are proud that Moneybase is the first local Fintech platform in Malta to launch Google Pay for users of its mobile app. As a next-generation platform, we focus heavily on providing Moneybase cardholders with the most innovative and convenient ways to pay, and introducing services for Google Wallet and Google Pay is a testament to this. It was a pleasure to work with the Compass Plus Technologies team on this project, and we look forward to continuing our work with them to further diversify the services available on our platform,” commented Alan Cuschieri, CEO of Moneybase.

Lee-Anne Higgins, Account Director at Compass Plus Technologies, said: “It’s great to have worked in partnership with Moneybase on such an innovative project. As a fast-growing Fintech, Moneybase offers the best digital payment and card issuing platform in Malta and since its launch has seen rapid growth in the number of new users downloading the Moneybase app. Being able to offer services such as Google Pay will only strengthen its popularity across the country and we look forward to supporting its long-term success.”
