Features of Google Pay app
Many additional features such as gift cards and other rewards to the users will be provided under the Cards tab in this app. Also, the availability of history of recent purchases will help users to keep a track of their spending habits. Pali Bhat, the Google’s VP of Product Management for Payments talked about this new app and he told Google always wanted to make the process of buying products both online and offline faster, and Google Pay is a crucial step towards this.
What about the security of using Google Pay?
Talking about the security of this app, Google has made an additional layer by disabling the sharing of actual card numbers while making payments. Currently, Google has a separate payment app called Tez for the users in India.
