How to send money through google wallet using gmail

If the news turns out to be true Gmail users could soon get an option to send payments as a mail attachment, even if the recipient doesn’t have a Gmail address. Google has announced new Google Wallet integration for Gmail in the form of an “Attach Money” button.

Soon, when you will open your ‘Compose Mail’ window you could see a ‘$’ icon next to the attachment button to send money. To send money via Gmail, you’ll just need to hover over the attachment paperclip, click the $ icon to attach money to your message, enter the amount you wish to send, and press ‘Send’.Paying back your friends is now as simple as sending an email, whether you’re chipping in for lunch or reimbursing your roommate for your share of the rent.

Google Wallet is now integrated with Gmail, so you can quickly and securely send money to friends and family directly within Gmail -- even if they don’t have a Gmail address. It's free to send money if your bank account is linked to Google Wallet or using your Google Wallet Balance, and low fees apply to send money using your linked credit or debit card. 

Google Wallet is now integrated into Gmail. This means you can securely send money to friends and family in the U.S. - without leaving your Gmail inbox.

This feature will be rolling out to Gmail users ages 18+ in the U.S. over the next few months. Look for the $ icon in your attachment options. You can also get earlier access if your friends have the feature and send money to you.

To send money in Gmail, hover over the attachment paperclip, click the $ icon to attach money to your message, enter the amount you wish to send, and press send. 

It’s free to send money from your Google Wallet Balance or directly from your bank account. You can also pay with your credit and debit cards for a low fee of 2.9% per transaction (minimum $0.30). Receiving money is always free.

While sending money in Gmail is currently only available on desktop, you can send money from Google Wallet at wallet.google.com from your phone or laptop. You will need to have set up Google Wallet to send and receive money, and Google Wallet Purchase Protection covers you 100% against eligible unauthorized payments.

We’re rolling out this feature over the coming months to all U.S. Gmail users over 18 years old, so keep an eye out for the $ icon in the attachment options. You can also get earlier access if your friends have the feature and send money to you.
