It has been nearly four years since Gmail on the web starts to send payments through e-mail, but now, Gmail introduced an integrated application that will be available to Android phones. On Tuesday, the Web giant announced that Google Wallet will be integrated with the Gmail application.

According to TC, the Google Wallet has already been integrated with Gmail on the web since 2013, but now it will be rolling out with a new integration on mobile. The Gmail application will be offering an easy way to send and receive money, including those who do not have any Gmail address with only one tap.

In an announcement, Google explains that the integration will let the user experience how easy to make exchanging money in a few simple steps just like attaching a file right from Gmail application. There will be no other application to be installed, and it is free for both the sender and the recipient.

Moreover, PC added that the recipient can receive the money right from the email itself, without installing another payment application. The entire process will take place in the Gmail application that the recipients can also configure it so the money will go directly into their bank account.

Google noted that there will be no fees collected for both parties. Apparently, the goal is to take quick payment applications like PayPal, Venmo, or Square Cash, by offering a feature that will move the money right within the Gmail's application. With this standalone payment applications, the user will not face the clutter of a crowded inbox just to send a few dollars.

At this point, the feature will only available in the U.S. via Gmail on Android or the Web. Since it already brings the functionality in 2013 to mobile devices, that indicates that Gmail money transfer will not be likely heavily adopted or maybe there will be more user demand for a mobile experience.
