Google pulls plug on plan for mobile banking in Pay app

A spokesperson confirmed the Wall Street Journal report on Friday that the company has ended work on its Plex project, but continues to look for ways to integrate financial services. Plex will allow the Pay application to act as an interface for banks or credit unions, allowing users to access their savings and checking accounts. The Google development of this project comes from many Internet companies, from Amazon and PayPal to Square and Robinhood, and has been in the trend of providing financial tools for online shopping, lending or investment.

“We are updating our approach to mainly focus on providing digital support to banks and other financial service providers, rather than us as a provider of these services,” the spokesperson said in response to an inquiry from Agence France-Presse. “We firmly believe that this is the best way for Google to help consumers better access financial services.” Google said at the end of last year that it is working with more than a dozen credit unions and banks, including Citigroup, to incorporate its Pay mobile application available on Android smartphones into its Plex project.

The Pay application allows users to pay for transactions, send money to friends, store membership cards, etc. According to the Wall Street Journal, approximately 400,000 people are registered on Plex’s waiting list.

Tom signs Nolan’s next

This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.

Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).

Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.

Tom’s busy schedule

Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.
