Android Pay mobile payments solution coming soon, but not from Google

Apple’s Apple Pay mobile payment app available on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus saw huge popularity after launch, injecting new life into the NFC-based payments business. On top of that, Want China Times citing Shanghai’s China Business News says that an Android Pay product is currently in development in China, but Google isn’t backing it up. Instead, China’s UnionPay, the largest card issuer in the region and a company that has recently announced an App Store-related partnership with Apple, is creating the new contactless payments product, hoping to significantly increase wireless payments adoption in China.
