According to details spotted by folks at theKen on twitter, revealed many trademarks and patent documents about the service. And asked the tech giant about the service, the company said��Because fast is better than slow. See you on Monday (18 September).�
�Here’re some features of Google’s latest local payment app Tez:
- As from the name you can figure out, it’s in Hindi, and the App will also support multiple Regional languages.
- The support for�UPI-payments will benefit users to pay for Google’s apps such as Play, music, store, and movies.
- Additional support for already established payment wallets like PayTM and Mobiwiki
- An alternative to Android Pay as not everyone’s Android Phones in the country have NFC support.
With this multi-layered UPI enabled payment service, Google is looking forwards to enable Indian Govt.’s desire for cashless economy. Let’s see how well it penetrates and succeeds in such a vast multi-cultured country.
