Key Points of This Article
- We confirmed that information regarding three new transit IC services—SUGOCA (JR Kyushu), manaca (Meitetsu Group), and hayakaken (Fukuoka City Transportation Bureau)—has been added to the “Related resources” section on the “Check supported payment methods (Japan)” page of the official “Google Wallet Help” site.
- However, “nimoca,” provided by Nishitetsu’s subsidiary Nimoca Co., Ltd., which was spotted in mid-October 2025, has now been removed.
- In addition to the existing “Suica” and “PASMO,” seven more transit IC services—”ICOCA,” “Kitaca,” “TOICA,” “nimoca,” “SUGOCA,” “manaca,” and “hayakaken”—may become compatible with Google Wallet in the future.
Information discovered from analyzing the HTML code of the “Check supported payment methods (Japan)” page on Google’s official “Google Wallet Help” site suggests that the Android digital wallet management service, “Google Wallet,” is poised for a major renewal with the addition of new features and services. The findings include the addition of new transit IC services such as “ICOCA” (JR West) / “TOICA” (JR Central) and “Kitaca” (JR Hokkaido) / “nimoca” (Nishitetsu’s subsidiary Nimoca Co., Ltd.); the rollout of a new NFC touch payment section called “E-wallets” featuring SoftBank’s “PayPay Money,” KDDI’s “au PAY,” and NTT Docomo’s “d-Barai (d-Payment)”; a new bank account linking feature for “E-wallet” charging and peer-to-peer transfers, adding support for “Mitsubishi UFJ Bank,” “Mizuho Bank,” “Japan Post Bank,” and “Rakuten Bank”; new support for linking cryptocurrency wallets like “Rakuten Wallet”; and the addition of three new “Prepaid Card” services: “Visa Prepaid,” “au PAY Prepaid Card,” and “d CARD PREPAID.”
We are reporting a new development concerning Google Wallet that occurred around Monday, October 20, 2025. In this latest move, we confirmed the addition of information about three new transit IC services: “SUGOCA” from JR Kyushu, “manaca” from the Meitetsu Group, and “hayakaken” from the Fukuoka City Transportation Bureau.
On the other hand, we also confirmed that “nimoca,” provided by Nishitetsu’s subsidiary Nimoca Co., Ltd., which had been spotted in mid-October 2025, has now been removed. We suspect that this removal of “nimoca” is likely a simple error made during background edits to the web page. This means it will probably be added back in the future.

Therefore, in addition to the existing “Suica” and “PASMO,” it is now possible that seven more transit IC services—”ICOCA,” “Kitaca,” “TOICA,” “nimoca,” “SUGOCA,” “manaca,” and “hayakaken”—will be supported by Google Wallet in the future. If this happens, it will enable features like managing commuter passes and adding funds in one-yen increments directly through Google Wallet. This is something many have been waiting for.
