Google Tez allows you to transfer money using following 5 modes:
- UPI transfer
- Phone number
- QR code
- Cash mode
- Account number
UPI transfer
You can make payment with the help of UPI ID like any other UPI transactions. Just you need to create a Google Tez account. After creating the account you will be asked to add your UPI ID. Your UPI ID will be generated automatically say for example name@bankname. For making payment you need receivers UPI ID as well.
Phone number
One more interesting way to make payment is by phone number. You just need to integrate your mobile number with Google Tez App. Before sending money to your friends, relatives or anyone, make sure receiver candidate should have Tez App installed in his or her phone. You cannot transfer money to a person who is not having Google Tez App. Google Tez App has an interesting feature, it tells you by listing the contacts who all are using Tez App which makes payment hassle free. Now you simply need to tap the phone number from the list.
QR code
There is a payment mode in Google Tez App called QR code. You will get this feature in other payment Apps as well such as PayTM, Freecharge and lot many. Just you need to scan a business QR code and you are done with your payment.
Cash Mode
One of the interesting payment features of Google Tez App is Cash Mode. Google has implemented Audio QR technology with Tez App. Here, one mobile device communicates with other mobile device via audio signal. In cash mode both the phone devices should connect with each other wirelessly. But cash mode will work only when you and recipient both have Tez app.
In cash mode feature of Tez, you don’t have to enter UPI ID, account number or mobile number for making transactions. Here, you’re and recipient’s phone should talk to each other and transaction is done. Isn’t great!
Cash mode is a nice payment mode but sometimes you face difficulty when you are surrounded by noisy stuffs. Then your Mobile faces difficulties in receiving signals.
Account number
This payment mode is similar to any other payment portal. Here, Google Tez App would ask about your Account details such as Account number, IFSC code and so on.
Closing words
Google’s entry into digital payment niche with Tez App has set cat among pigeons. Google signed up with major banks such as ICICI, SBI and many more for its Tez platform. This App has many online partners such as PVR, RedBus and Dominos.
