Not too long ago, Google announced that it was working on a way to give parents a bit more peace of mind with regards to their children’s safety when using online services and hardware.

The new update allows users in the U.S., U.K., Australia, Spain and Poland to supervise their kids when accessing digital payments via their Android device. The update will start seeding over the next few weeks, and kids will be able to use Google Wallet for tap to pay, and store passes such as library cards, gift cards, and tickets.

With that said, a child’s payment cards can be added with parental consent, and parents and guardians will be notified via email should their kid make a transaction. Additionally, parents will be able to track recent purchases, remove payment cards and turn off access to passes via their Family Link settings.
