End of the Google Pay P2P service and important changes to your Google Payments service
Hello,
End of the Google Pay P2P service
We are announcing the end of Google Pay P2P, our peer-to-peer (P2P) payments service, in the United Kingdom. Starting from 6 September 2019, you'll no longer be able to send and request money through Google Pay's P2P service in Gmail or on pay.google.com.
What do you need to do?
If you have a net positive Google Pay balance in your account with us, you can transfer these funds to your bank account. Please sign in to your Google payments profile to transfer your balance into a bank account.
If you have a zero balance in your account, no further action is required on your part.
Your current Google Payments Terms of Service
You can read more about your redemption and refund rights, including the applicable time limits, in your current Google Payments Terms of Service.
Your new Google Payments Terms of Service
Starting on 6 September 2019, your Google Payments service will be offered by Google Ireland Limited ("GIL") instead of Google Payment Limited ("GPL"). This means that your relationship with GPL and the electronic money ("e-money") service they offer under the current Google Payments Terms of Service is ending. You will no longer have an e-money account with GPL to use for the P2P service (explained above in more detail) or for payments.
Instead, GIL will be offering you a new service under the new Google Payments Terms of Service, which will allow you to save and manage your payment credentials in one place in order to make purchases with Google and on Google marketplaces. Your new terms of service outline how your payment credentials will be stored and used.
For further information, please see the new Google Payments Terms of Service.
Nothing about your experience using Google services will change. GIL and GPL will work together to ensure that you have a smooth transition from GPL to GIL, including ensuring that information about your past transactions will continue to be available on the pay.google.com website.
To accept the new terms, simply continue to use our services. No further action is required on your part. However, if you do not want to accept the new terms, you can stop

It's not a scam.

Google often cancel parts of their business that aren't working well.

Apparently P2P is a system for sending money to others, but they are stopping it in the UK.

I got the same email.
This was sent to my gmail account and I've NEVER given this email address to anyone, so I'm almost certain that when I get an email that claims to be from Google, I'm almost certain that it is - although I do always check.

Looks as if it may be legit.
But the general rule is to never click on links in a suspect e-mail.

Everyone with a Google account (which basically includes everyone who uses an Android phone and everyone with a Gmail address) has got that email. It's simply saying that a way of transferring funds that was available to you in the past will no longer be available in the future (and telling you how to access any funds that you might have within the system).

If you've not used the P2P money transfer service you can ignore the email:

I have a Gmail account but haven't received the email, not that it makes any difference to me.
