Google Pay today announces its most important renovation since its launch, or as Google announces, its reinvention for turn your payments application into a much more complete banking application.

New way of banking
Starting next year, Google and 11 banks in the United States will launch the new Plex accounts, a type of online account that will allow your customers to use Google Pay as if it were their banking application. You can move your money between your bank accounts, make transfers, block your credit cards, etc …
