Transfer Money From U.S to India with Google Pay

Now people in the U.S. will be able to send Money to India and Singapore in an easy way with the help of Google Pay. Previously, PayPal and Western Union are the popular way of sending Money In India, but soon things can be changed as Google has partnered with Western Union and Wise to enable the new service via the Google Pay U.S app.

Google says in his blog,

“By the end of the year, we expect that U.S. Google Pay users will be able to send money to people in more than 200 countries and territories through Western Union and to more than 80 countries through Wise,” 

Currently, it only allows Google Pay’s U.S. users to send Money to those in India and Singapore — and no other country around. According to Woodward, the company picked India and Singapore because of how important they are in the remittances world.

According to the World Bank, India was the largest receiving Country for remittances in 2019, as it receives more than $80 billion in the year. Meanwhile, the US is the largest sender.

Google Pay U.S. vs. PayPal

Google Pay with Wise and Western Union partnership will directly compete with its biggest rivals such as PayPal. PayPal, which has a broader reach but struggles in India.

Google Pay is less technical to setup bank account or your payment method. Meanwhile, Paypal is much complicated in the bank account Setup.

Google Pay charges $0 transferring fee until June 16, although Google has not yet decided the exact transfer fee that it will charge from the sender after their initial free offerings. However, as per the data & Images, it could charge around 1.10% transfer fee, which was less than the PayPal 4.4% transfer fee.

Google Pay gives you the option to Pay the amount in BHIM UPI which is the fastest way to transfer money into receiver bank account almost instantly. Meanwhile PayPal take three to four days to transfer money from PayPal Wallet to Receiver Bank account after successfully Receiving the amount from the sender.

Conclusion

This feature will provide immense relief to those who have been hit with the second wave of the novel coronavirus affecting various parts of the Country. 

It will help U.S. residents and NRIs coordinate to collect and transfer funds to the Country. I hope this will be helpful and provide solution for what you are looking.
