Android Police recently decompiled the latest Google Now .apk file and found some pretty interesting bits of code that may turn into a helpful Google Now feature in the near future. According to the teardown, there are some strings and information that indicate that Google will be able to remind you about when you have bills coming up, and will even offer quick links to pay them online.

A reminder might, for example, show you a credit card payment that's due soon, complete with the total balance on the account, the minimum payment due, and a link to the card's website for payment. Sounds great on paper, but as with any other financial information, it's some pretty sensitive stuff. It looks like Google will at least hide some of the account numbers for things like credit cards, and you can turn the feature off completely, of course.

This feature may end up getting scrapped before Google makes it official, but it's looking pretty likely that it'll make its way into some future build of Google Now.

What do you think? Would you let Google Now keep tabs on your open accounts and bills?
