Google Pay adoption for online payments in the United Kingdom was higher in 2025 than it was in early 2023, signaling a growing use among consumers. This is according to two different questions asked throughout multiple surveys from Statista's Consumer Insights. The numbers shown here refer to the share of respondents who indicated they used Google Pay in the past 12 months, either for POS transactions with a mobile device in stores and restaurants or for online shopping. ***** out of 10 respondents from the UK indicated they had used Google Pay in a POS setting between ********* and ********* - with an additional *** out of 10 saying they used Google Pay during this same time for online payments.
internet users; For this statistic, two sets of metrics are displayed: "Share of respondents who used payment services [since 2025] / used mobile payments or online payments [up to 2024]" and "Share of total respondents"

Online survey
Supplementary notes
The question was phrased by the source as follows: "Which payment services have you used in the past 12 months? (multi-pick)". In all editions before 2025, the source asked two questions - which were discontinued in 2025: "Which online payment services have you used in the past 12 months? (multi-pick)" and "Which of these services have you used in the past 12 months to pay in stores, restaurants or other points of sale with your smartphone? (multi-pick)".
The countries provided are part of the extended questionnaire within Statista's Global Consumer Survey, meaning there are no other countries with this same information. More information on the methodology can be found here.
For countries/territories receiving the extended questionnaire, the Global Consumer Survey utilizes a rolling survey system with four survey waves per year: The most recent data set contains the interviews of the last 12 months. This ensures trend stability and a higher number of interviews available for analysis, allowing you to adequately analyze smaller target groups, media, and brands.
