When users send money by text message, the recipient is directed to a webpage where they can enter their debit card information to claim the funds. Once the process is complete, the money appears in their bank account.
In order to use the feature, users are required to download the latest version of the Google Wallet app, which will rollout via the App Store and Google Play.
The app will rollout in stages on Android, while those on iOS should receive it simultaneously.
