Android Pay Features, UK Release Date, How It Works

Shoppers in the US prefer to use retailers' own payment apps over services such as Apple Pay and Android Pay, a survey of consumers has revealed, possibly due to a lack of adoption from stores.

From the article "Android Pay Features, UK Release Date, How It Works" by Caroline Preece, Joe Curtis Aaron & Lee Rene Millman.
