In 2018, Google revamped its mobile and online payment services and brought them all under the Google Pay or G Pay umbrella.

You can use it for online payments, in-app purchases, contactless in-store payments, and peer-to-peer money transfers. So whether you’re browsing for new sneakers online or buying your morning coffee, G Pay can do everything for you. However, it is not just about sending money or paying for goods. Like Apple Pay, you can also load train tickets, passes and reward cards. It could be a Covid pass or something else entirely.

What is Google Pay or GPay?

Google Pay is an online payment application that allows users to make payments directly or from a bank account in real time using the Unified Payments Interface (UPI). All you need is an internet connection, an Indian bank account and an Indian phone number to use Google Pay. The best part is that you can send money directly to anyone’s bank account, even if the recipient isn’t on Google Pay without incurring a charge.

The app also allows you to send money to a foreign bank account. There are several ways you can send or receive money with Google Pay. Here is a step-by-step guide that you can follow to send money to a foreign bank account on Google Pay.
