Google has left users with no choice but to switch to the new Google Pay app before April 5 or lose the ability to send and receive money, view past transactions, or even see their remaining balance. 

This change applies only to U.S., According to Google confirmation to Andriod Police. There is still plenty of time to publish and package the app since it is not yet in the app market for users' access before the deadline date for users.
