In India, Google Pay allows unified payments interface (UPI) transactions within India, which are essentially instant bank to bank transactions. The same phone number has to be registered on the Google Pay app in India and linked to a bank account at an Indian bank. The way this works is that your friends or family in the US can search for you via your phone number on Google Pay.
It is believed that the Google Pay international money transfers to India will be powered by Western Union at this time, though for countries that support both platforms, users will have the choice while making the transfer. Google is also working with another payment platform Wise, formerly known as TransferWise, to add payment options for another 80 countries. Google is partnering with financial network Western Union for these cross-border payments, and it is expected that this will allow Google Pay users to send money to contacts in more than 200 countries by the end of the year. This is the latest step in the expansion for international payments and money transfers on the Google Pay app in the US. Google Pay users in the US can now transfer money to friends and family in India and Singapore.
