bank accounts to Google Wallet receive transactions for free. Those using debit
or credit cards pay a 2.9% transaction fee (minimum $0.30), and transactions
are limited to $10,000.

stored on secure servers. Transactions are also monitored to preempt fraudulent
activity. Google Wallet Purchase Protection also covers 100% of "eligible
