There's the Google Pay service that processes payments.
There's the old Google Pay app that got rebranded as Google Wallet.
And then there's a newer Google Pay app available only in the US, Singapore, and India. This is the one getting shutdown.

The documentary mentioned in the article, There Are No Fakes, is available for free streaming on a number of providers: https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/there-are-no-fakes
Give it a watch! I find it exhilarating.

It's a semi-hidden product called Preferred Deposit under BofA's Merrill subsidiary:

Big banks like Chase and Morgan Stanley have similar deposit products tied to their investment/wealth management arms:

They are not really competitive due to the high initial deposit or total balance requirements, as there are smaller banks that offer higher yields and no requirements. These products mostly function as an incentive for higher net worth individuals to maintain the relationship with their existing big bank.

4.15% is good, but there are better options, including with big banks like Bank of America (4.50% currently, though with an initial deposit requirement of $100k).

Interestingly, Disney's new Chip 'n Dale movie actually features a cameo of Crumb's Mr. Natural character.
