“Barclays’ bPay app has had its day as it will be brought into Pingit to build out this mobile payment brand. The latter has about 3.6 million users, but bPay, which was launched in 2014, has users “in the high tens of thousands,” a Barclays spokeswoman says. With two separate apps, and the struggle against rivals like the mighty Apple and Goldman Sachs, it probably makes sense to bring them together. As part of this move, and to keep things sweet, Barclays will introduce wearable payment devices to Pingit in May.”
