Google Wallet has launched a new feature in the U.S. that allows parents to send money directly to children and teens under 18. Using Family Link, parents can create a secure digital balance for tap-to-pay purchases on Android phones and Wear OS devices wherever Google Pay is accepted. Parents can transfer funds, set daily spending limits, track transactions in real time, receive purchase notifications, and remotely lock or unlock the balance. No separate bank account is required for the child, with the feature designed to help kids learn money management while giving parents full oversight.
