Is it because of your particular bank or is that a general problem?
google wallet in general will not work.
also bank apps utilizing NFC is not a thing in the US
Ah yes, a feature that I'd never be able to live without /s
The university that I'm at is trying to get new students to use a digital student id that uses google wallet for scanning I think. They aren't giving any new students physical student id's unless they need it for something that doesn't work with the digital ones.
So yeah some people do need google wallet.
Google Wallet works though. It's just NFC and credit card payments that don't. If you can add tickets and passes with barcodes, student ID will work.
The student id's use nfc here. Nothing to scan.
Cal state northridge?
