Android Pay is making it faster and easier for the users to make online payments. The company has inked new deals with Visa and MasterCard for this purpose.

Soon, Android Pay users will be able to use this feature as the sites supporting these gateways will be linked to Android Pay accounts.

The partnership will make online transactions more secure and faster. Android Pay will be able to transmit the payment information as well as the personal details of users after the due authentication procedure. Android Pay is looking to make the process of mobile payments less cumbersome and faster. Currently, the process entails multiple steps and authentications.

Google is planning to roll out the feature early next year. This offers merchants enough time to prepare for the traffic. Google has emphasized that now users are not required to remember multiple passwords and usernames. Users can simply link their Android Pay account with Masterpass or Visa Checkout for this purpose.

However, Google is not the only player in the market as Masterpass announced has its collaboration with Microsoft Wallet and Samsung Pay as well. With these new deals, Masterpass users can take advantage of their Google, Microsoft or Samsung wallets for the purpose of making payments. Masterpass is currently available in 33 countries and is likely to reach 35 markets by the end of this year.
