Google recently rebranded its payments client, Tez in India, unifying it into its Google Pay brand. This change, which has been rolling out on Android devices, has now reached its iOS app.
Tez, a mobile payment app introduced by Google in India late last year, has now become Google Pay. The rebranded app will be rolling out to users over the next few days as part of an upcoming update.
Google has yet again added messaging integration to another of its services, this time in Tez, its India-exclusive payments app, in an attempt to take on WhatsApp's upcoming in-chat payments feature.
Google has added new functionality to the Tez payments app in India which allows users to search for over 90 utility companies in order to quickly and easily get bill payments set up.
Google has announced that it is rolling Google Wallet and Android Pay into one service called Google Pay. It's an attempt by Google to unify its payment ecosystem. Tez will still exist in India.
After reports late last week, it appears that Google is rolling out Tez, a mobile payment app leveraging India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) framework with support for three banks.
