Google has released a new mobile app in India for making payments simple. This new app named as “Google Tez” is a simple and secure way to pay for things, big and small, online and offline, in India.
Tez is a payments and commerce app built for India on top of the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) standard.
One of the most powerful aspects of cash is that it enables you to pay others without exchanging sensitive personal information.
Top Features
- Transfer directly to your bank account. Simply link your account to Tez over UPI and instantly transfer money from bank to bank.
- Know your money is secure. With Google’s multi layered security and 24/7 protection by Tez Shield, you can make payments and transfer amounts both big and small, with confidence.
- With Tez’s Cash Mode, you can instantly send or receive payments to anyone nearby without sharing personal details like your phone number or bank account.
Upcoming Features
- Pay through debit and credit cards on Tez.
- Pay and set reminders for recurring bills such as DTH.
Case Mode of the Google Tez App works similar to the cash. TeZ users can use Cash Mode to send money instantly to another Tez user nearby without needing to share private details like your bank account or phone number. i-e People can transact with the simplicity of cash, but with added security.
Just bring two phones near each other, hit pay or request, enter your UPI PIN and the payment goes instantly from one bank account to another. Cash Mode is built using Google’s proprietary AQR (Audio QR) technology, which is similar to QR codes but more convenient and more secure. And unlike NFC, it works on almost any smartphone in India, whether Android or iOS. Audio QR uses sound to pair your device with another nearby device. All you need is a smartphone with a speaker and a microphone.
Tez works with all major Indian banks and with a vast majority of smartphones, so you can pay or get paid by almost anyone. Tez offers language support for English, Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu. To establish an account and to use Tez, you must be in India, have an Indian bank account and an Indian mobile number.
Tez makes it faster and more secure to pay on apps and websites – anywhere UPI is accepted. When you checkout, look for the Tez logo or use your Tez UPI ID.
