Google Wallet on Charge 5

I want to use my Google Wallet on Charge 5 because my bank is not supported with Fitbit Pay. Also, I already use Google Wallet.

I would love to have Google wallet on my Charge 5 that's the only thing I'm missing to make me happy fitbit user 🙂

That would be great as fitbit pay is way less supported by European banks than Google Pay.

Or add paypal support (like Google Pay) which would enable us to use pretty much any bank account.

You have it on Sense 2 and Fitbit Versa apparently.... just roll it out over the entire range...

This would be great. I didn't know the charge 5 had a payment feature when I bought it. however, I was excited when I found out, only to be very disappointed to realize it didn't support my bank. Since it's owned and developed by Google, having support for Google wallet was an assumption, it's pretty bad this isn't supported right out of the box.

Hi, after you force us to move Fitbit Account to Google's one we lost FitBit Pay cappability, taking away from us that feature without any warning.

To fix that we ask to bring Google Wallet support to Charge 5 so you restore this ability.
