Alphabet Inc has launched Google Wallet in South Africa, as the tech giant tries to gain a foothold in the country’s rapidly growing digital payments space.

The Google Wallet app stores a consumer’s credit or debit card information and allows shoppers to pay for goods by tapping their phone against a retail store’s point of sale at the checkout counter.
