Did you know? Google Pay is not just for scanning QR codes! These 7 secret features will save you both money and time

Google Pay (GPay) is India's most trusted digital payment app, which makes money transactions through UPI very easy. It not only provides bill payment and mobile recharge facility, but its 7 hidden features and tricks can make your user experience even better.

Nowadays, the trend of digital payment has increased very fast, and Google Pay (GPay) is a well-known option for it. But do you know that Google Pay also has many such amazing features that can make your work even easier? So let's know about such 7 hidden features of Google Pay.

If you often go out with friends or family and the bill for food and drinks comes, then it often becomes difficult to divide it. In such a situation, this feature of Google Pay makes this task very easy. Yes, you just enter the total amount of the bill, select the people with whom you have to divide the bill, and the app will automatically calculate everyone's share. This feature also sends a reminder to everyone to make the payment, so that you do not have to ask again and again.

Google Pay also has an 'Insights' section. Here you can see the complete account of your expenses. The special thing is that the app also divides your expenses into different categories, such as grocery, entertainment, or travel. With this, you can know every month where your money is going. This feature can prove to be very helpful in improving the budget.

If you want to send money to a friend or relative living abroad, Google Pay can do this as well. Actually, Google Pay has partnered with Wise (formerly TransferWise). With its help, you can send money to more than 80 countries. Actually, the exchange rate and fees are also not very high, which makes it an easy and cheap way to send money abroad.

Apart from this, do you know that you can also use your Google Pay as a travel card in the metro or bus? With the help of NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, you can make payments by tapping your phone on the turnstile or card reader. By doing this, you do not have to stand in long lines to buy tickets.

In today's digital era, checking bank balance has become easy. You can check the balance of your linked bank account directly from Google Pay. Just by entering the UPI PIN, the balance will be in front of you in a few seconds. By the way, this feature is especially useful when you have to confirm the balance immediately before making a payment.

Safety is of utmost importance in digital payments. Google Pay does not use your card information directly, but creates a 'token' for every transaction. So even if there is an attack on a merchant's system, your real card information remains safe. In this way, Google Pay helps keep your money safe.

One feature of Google Pay is rewards and scratch cards. Although rewards are not received on every payment, many times users are given scratch cards on mobile recharge, electricity bill or other utility payments and on scratching these scratch cards, cashback or discount coupons of partner brands can be received, which makes payments more beneficial. You can see all your scratch cards from the Rewards section, which also includes special offers. (Note- The news is based on general information)
