Send and Receive Money

Before you can claim funds, you just need to verify you’re real owner of the account, you will be ask some questions, such as your address, and last four digits of your Social Security Number., once the fund is claimed, the money can take up to 24 hours to be made available in your Google Wallet account, from wallet you can do anything with it, spend it through wallet or deposited it in your connected bank account.
This is convenient way of sending and receiving money with now fees of using your Google Wallet balance or when transferring from a linked bank account, now the service is initially rolled out, there is no fee for using a debit or credit card , though the fee may be charged at 30 cents per transaction.


Secure your account

I don't really need to remind you of your account safety, I know the last thing you'd want is someone to gain access to your e-mail account where they can possibly send money without your notice, I suggest you take the necessary method to keep your account information secured and give unauthorized uses some tough time in accessing your account, by just enabling two-step authentication, then you'll be required to enter your password as well as six-digit code before you can access your account or anyone else. the code can be sent via text message. I think this is good news for every one using Google Account and unable to to get a verified Paypal account, as with time this Google Web money service will be a total substitute to Payapl (if they're not charging high as payapl though), and cosidering they decide to pay Adsense revenue Via Gmail, every one will rush into that, What do you think about it??
