Google has made online payments a whole lot easier. In February 2018, the company announced it’s combining all of its different payment methods into one unified brand, called Google Pay. The Android Pay app is now being rebranded to Google Pay, and the Google Wallet app is now called Google Pay Send. Eventually, the Google Pay app will also have peer-to-peer transactions, allowing users to send and receive money.
Here is everything you need to know about Google Pay, including the places and banks that support it.
Google Pay may soon use QR codes for peer-to-peer payments
Google Pay is already a great way to send money to your friends, but it looks like Google is considering adding a new feature that may add sending payments a little easier for some. According to a new report from XDA Developers, Google is set to add QR codes as a way to initiate a peer-to-peer payment. The option will reportedly show up in the “Send” tab of the app. As the report notes, it’s unlikely that the feature will be easier than simply picking a contact from your contact list, but if you need to send money to someone you just met, it could come in handy.
Google is rebranding Tez to Google Pay
Google launched Tez as a payment service in India around a year ago — but now it looks like the company is giving Tez yet another big push. Part of that includes the rebranding of Tez to Google Pay, bringing it in line with Google’s other payment services. Beyond that, however, Google reportedly wants to turn Tez into a fully featured app that can be used for everything payment-related in India.

The following example demonstrates how to use URLEncoder.encode method to perform URL encoding in Java.Pitfall to avoid: Do not encode the entire URL. URL encoding makes the transmitted data more reliable and secure. Programmers often need to perform on query strings or form parameters while calling a remote api.
When Tez launched, it was largely aimed at bank-based payments but Google soon added bill and utility payments to the service. Now, according to a report from Economic Times, Google will add features for retail payments, both online and offline, and micro-loans, putting the service in competition with the likes of ZestMoney. For that, Google partnered with a number of local banks, including HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Federal Bank, and Kotak Mahindra Bank, which will give customers “pre-approved” loans through the app in a matter of a few seconds.
Google also plans on expanding Tez (now Google Pay) to other regions. Basically, that will mean adding features from Tez to Google Pay in other parts of Asia, which will require new partnerships and localizations.
Google Pay Send is now part of Google Pay
Google Pay and Google Pay Send users in the U.S. no longer need two apps for all of their contactless payments. Google Pay now allows you to make peer to peer payments directly from the app. If you’re outside the United States you’ll need to continue using Google Pay and Google Pay Send separately for the time being.
Google Pay now stores boarding passes and tickets
First announced at the 2018 Google I/O conference, Google Pay now allows you to store mobile boarding passes and event tickets within the app.
Currently only a handful of companies, including Southwest Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Southwest, Eventbrite, Ticketmaster, and FortessGB, are participating in the rollout, however you should see many more firms add the feature in the coming months.
To store passes or tickets in Google Pay you can either select the “Send ticket to my phone” option from participating websites or elect the same option via email from companies that support Google Pay Tickets. If you want to access your tickets, just tap on the Passes tab.
PayPal expands Google support
Users have been able to use PayPal to pay on Google Pay for some time now, but PayPal is continuing to make things easier for Google-bound users in the U.S.
On May 24, 2018, PayPal announced that registering your PayPal account with any one of Google’s services would seamlessly allow users to access that same account on Google’s other services, without needing to set up the account’s details on those other services.
This means that if you set up your Google Pay account to pay via PayPal, your PayPal account will automatically become enabled on Gmail, the Google Play Store, YouTube, or anywhere that Google offers a payment service, without you needing to log in again.
Widespread adoption
While there are plenty of digital payment methods out there for you to pick from, it makes sense that you’d want to back the right horse. The sheer number of users is as good an indicator as any, and Google Pay has that covered after hitting 100 million downloads on the Google Play Store. At the time of writing, Samsung Pay has 50 million-plus downloads, while LG Pay has yet to even make its debut on the Play Store, putting Google’s payment system rather far ahead of the competition.
Of course, it’s slightly unfair to say that it was Google’s branding that did all the heavy lifting, since Google Pay inhabits the same Play Store space as Android Pay, and the download counter would count anyone who downloaded it as Android Pay. Still, Google Pay is clearly one of the most popular digital payment services around.
Support in the United States
All four major banks in the U.S. support Google Pay — that’s Chase Bank, Wells Fargo, Citibank, and Bank of America. Many smaller banks and credit unions now support Google Pay as well; if you’re unsure, check out the Google Pay support page to check if your bank is listed.
In addition to using your phone to make purchases, many major U.S. banks like Chase and Bank of America are installing cardless ATMs. For people with accounts at these banks, its easy to use your NFC enabled Android phone to make withdrawals. Some banks are even going a step further and completely integrating Google Pay into their own apps.
In short, most banks that already support Apple Pay will back Google’s service since both use similar NFC technology for payments.
Other U.S. institutions, integrations
The latest new feature to come to Google Pay is support for the Las Vegas Monorail. According to Google, the new feature will allow users to buy tickets online through the Monorail site, then save them to Google Pay. Then, to get on the train, simply wave the phone near the fare gate. You’ll also be able to see your recent trips and get directions to the nearest Monorail station. Google says the feature will be rolling out to more public transportation services soon, but for now it’s limited to the Las Vegas Monorail.
MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Discover support Google Pay. Sites that support Visa Checkout and Masterpass can handle Google Pay as well, thanks to a strategic partnership. You can use your fingerprint to confirm payments, and Visa Checkout and Masterpass customers can link their accounts to Google Pay as well.
Mobile banking app integration
Google Pay has also integrated with several banking apps around the world to make using the system almost seamless. Now, many customers will be able to add cards to Google Pay from their mobile banking apps at the tap of a button. Currently the number of banks that have in-app integration is limited and includes Bank of America, Discover, Bank of New Zealand, mBank, and USAA.
In-App and mobile web purchases
Although you’ll probably use Google Pay primarily in shops, it’s also useful for in-app purchases. When you’re about to purchase something in an app that supports the service, you’ll see a prompt appear for Google Pay. At the moment, Google has listed more than a dozen apps that support in-app purchases with Google Pay including Lyft, OpenTable, Hotel Tonight, Instacart, and Etsy. Most recently, more companies have signed on with Google Pay at its launch, such as Airbnb, Postmates, Fandango, and Dice.
If you make purchases via a web browser — Google Chrome, Safari, or Firefox, or Microsoft Edge (coming soon) — on your phone, you’re in luck. Google is adding support for Google Pay for sites that choose to integrate its application programming interface, making the checkout process less of a hassle. It currently works with a handful of sites such as Groupon and 1-800-Flowers. The integration with Visa Checkout and Masterpass is sure to boost the number of sites that support Google Pay as well.
After finding the item you want to purchase, all you need to do is click “check out.” You’ll then be able to select the “Buy with Google Pay” button which will open the payments sheet. This will show you the available cards and shipping addresses associated with your Google account — if you happen to be logged into more than one account, you can toggle back and forth between them.
Once you choose which Google account you want to pay with, it will automatically fill in your credit card billing information, and shipping address. But if you want to ship it to a different location, you can also choose to edit it. Using the Google Maps API, Google can also show autofill suggestions if it’s an address you’ve visited before — making it easier to fill out the information.
Google Pay also remembers the last selected card and shipping address, to make your next purchase even easier. The next time you pull up the Google Payments sheet to make a payment, the last selected address you sent an item to will be the default — but you can always edit it if needed.

Tez was a mobile payments service by Google, targeted at users in India.[1] It was rebranded to Google Pay on August 28, 2018.[2] It operates atop the Unified Payments Interface, developed by the National Payments Corporation of India.[3] It can be used where UPI payments are accepted. Tez works on the vast majority of India’s smartphones (with apps for both Android and iOS) with the Android app supporting English, Hindi, Telugu, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Marathi, and Tamil with more languages coming soon.[1] There are plans to release the app in other emerging countries including Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand.[4] 'Tez' is the Hindi word for 'Fast'. Within 37 days after being launched, Tez got about 8.5 million installations. Over 30 million transactions were made on the app as of October 27, 2017.

Acceptability[edit]
Tez is currently accepted by PVR Cinemas, redBus, McDonald's, ACT Broadband, State government Electricity boards and is expected to be joined by a number of other businesses like Dish TV, Jet Airways and Domino’s. Google is also working with existing advertisers and online e-commerce platforms like Shopify and payment aggregators like BillDesk and PayU. Google also plans to add even more ways to pay on Tez (e.g., credit cards and wallets). Select phones from manufacturer partners Lava, Nokia Mobile, and Panasonic will come in with Tez preinstalled.[1]
Device compatibility[edit]
The App is compatible with vast majority of Android and iOS devices.
Technology[edit]
The application does not require users to share any personal information such as mobile numbers or usernames like other payment applications, instead uses Audio QR codes that rely on sound transmitted at a frequency inaudible to the human ear from the payee handset to the merchant handset. This technology does away with the need for NFC chips on the handsets and holds an additional advantage because a significant number of smartphones in India and other developing markets do not have NFC chips embedded.[1]
