- Google Pay transactions are supported by a ‘Unified Payments Interface’ or ‘UPI.’
- Google rebranded Tez as Google Pay back in 2018.
- Here’s how you can change your UPI PIN in Google Pay.
Google was the first to introduce a UPI-based payment system – ‘Tez’ back in 2017. On August 28, 2018, the company rebranded it to ‘Google Pay.’
UPI comes with a series of features including self-transfer, balance check, payment via QR code scanning, and more.
Google pay is one of the most used payment apps in India. Also known as GPAY, it lets you make all types of online payments. Every transaction done on Google Pay is secured by a UPI pin. When you make any transaction on Google Pay, you need to enter 4 digit code to allow bank transactions. This UPI pin is set when you are creating your Google Pay account.
