SINGAPORE — Starting Tuesday local time, most Android users in Singapore will be able to link their credit cards to their phones and tap to pay at retail outlets on the island.
This makes Singapore the third country globally to get the Google mobile payment service (http://mashable.com/2015/05/29/android-pay-hands-on/) after the U.S., which was first in September (http://mashable.com/2015/09/10/android-pay-launch/) last year, and the UK, which got it in May.

Android Pay works with NFC-capable Android phones running KitKat 4.4 or higher, which has been running on most models released since mid-2014.
The Singapore debut of the service comes hot on the heels of competitors Apple Pay, which launched here in April (http://mashable.com/2016/04/19/apple-pay-singapore/), and Samsung Pay which started its Southeast Asia roll out two weeks ago (http://mashable.com/2016/06/10/samsung-pay-singapore/) in Singapore.
