How Google Wallet Works
Google Wallet is based on NFC (Near Field Communications) and PayPass system.So you'll be able to use it anywhere that's hooked up with PayPass.Google says Google Wallet is "more secure than your wallet," because your credit card is never fully displayed, it requires a PIN to access, and the card data is encrypted.
When you add your credit or debit card to your Google Wallet than first it is verified by the bank that you are authorized user.There is 100$ limit until everything is activated via SMS or email.
