Google Tez may be renamed as 'Google Pay': Report

Google may also bring UPI payments to the Play Store as it has already started branding its payment service for app purchases and in-app purchases as Google Pay.

A Google spokesperson told the national daily, “We have always maintained that we will bring payments across different platforms. Also on UPI, Play Store will be an invoke flow as that is the easiest way to integrate.” The process of invoke flow means that once UPI is selected as a payment mode, the consumer will be prompted by his UPI app for a payment request which can ease the process for Google Tez users. Google has been consolidating payments across Asia, so probably would want to use a global name to avoid confusion, the source told ET.
