Google Pay is adding support for UPI payments over NFC

In India, Google Pay primarily revolves around sending money via UPI, the country's digital payment platform.

It was only last year that the India-exclusive version of the app got support for debit and credit card payments over NFC.

Now, Google is looking to further improve the mobile payment solution with NFC-initiated UPI payments.

Using NFC is surely more intuitive for initiating UPI payments, which currently require users to either type in a UPI ID or scan a QR code — both of which take more effort.
