What&#x27;s the point of this? Currently you can link your credit cards to Google Pay. Google has access to all transactions regardless if purchases went through Google Pay.<p>I would think that Google would be more interested in the data than potentially splitting transaction fees between the bank and payment processor. Why not put their resources to convince more people to use Google Pay?

The dot pattern looks like some kind of machine-translatable grid. That could be fun when people start posting images of their cards online...

If it&#x27;s a debit card they&#x27;ll have to convince me that I can use it to buy gas without blowing up my bank account.
