Google Pay users can send money from the US to India and Singapore. Google has teamed up with leading international payment services such as the money transfer app Wise and Western Union Co.
The project will be expanded to 80 countries via Wise and to 200 countries via the Western Union by the end of this year.
The London-based Wise App was launched in 2011. When they joined Google, they had 150 million users in 40 countries.
Google Pay feature is already available for travel purposes in Australia, Canada, Japan, India, Russia, Singapore, Ukraine, UK, and the US, but will only work on certain public transportation systems. At the same time, the ability to use Google Pay to make payments on websites and apps is already available in many countries.
But there has never been a facility for two people to sit in one country and send money to another. With the new update, Google Pay users will be able to send money from the US to India and Singapore.
In the context of covid, there has been a huge jump in online payments. Google Pay is expected to make a huge leap forward in this area by enabling international payments through Google Pay to countries including India.
