This should be the canonical answer pasted to the top. You forget to mention the head of Tez was actually based in Singapore, though, and Singapore was the one other country that was eligible for the "new" gPay. What's unclear to me, now as an outside, is whether or not Google is planning to migrate the actually useful features of gPay (p2p payments, payment/expense tracking, loyalty/discounts) to Wallet, or if Wallet is going to only host cards & handle tap-to-pay. I certainly hope for the former, and if they weren't going to that they'd have said so in the email.
