Pixel 9a gets Google Wallet for kids to help ease your anxiety over your child’s spending
Google Wallet is making it easier to manage your kid's spending.


- Google Wallet with parental controls is rolling out to the Pixel 9a.
- Kids using a Family Link-managed Pixel 9a will be able to make tap-to-pay transactions in stores.
- Parents will be able to stay on top of their child’s recent transactions, remove cards remotely, and block passes.
Family Link gives parents the ability to manage their child’s phone usage. This can include everything from setting a daily limit for how long the phone can be used to filtering what they see on YouTube, Search, Chrome, and so on. While there are plenty of ways to supervise how your kid uses their phone, management of on-device payments has sorely been missing. Not anymore, as Google is rolling out Wallet for kids on the Pixel 9a.
After launching Google Wallet for kids on the Fitbit Ace LTE last year, the Mountain View-based tech giant is now bringing parental controls for Wallet on smartphones. This means that those who have a Pixel 9a with Family Link set up can now download the Google Wallet app to make payments.
