Google is turning its Google Pay app into a personal financial powerhouse and recently made some big announcements. In the midst of all this, it also quietly posted a notification that its web app will be unavailable in early January. It is also set to add a fee for instant transfers. Until now, Google Pay has allowed money transfers (roundtrip) from their mobile app or from pay.google.com --- their web app page. Google Pay has issued a notice that its website app will not work from January next year. "Starting in early 2021, you will no longer be able to use pay.google.com to send and receive money from other people. To send and receive money, use the new Google Pay app," Google Pay said. Essentially, this means that users can still manage payment methods in the web app, but peer-to-peer payments will not be possible.

But wait. This is for instant transfers only. Which means that when you transfer money to a debit card, you will be charged a 1,5% fee. Typical 1-3 day transfers would not incur any direct debits. Google also announced that the original Google Pay app will stop working in January. According to 9to5Google, “As of this date, you will no longer be able to send or receive payments from the original app, although it appears that the original app will still work for mode management. payment by NFC and other mobile payments.” As we said, Google recently introduced several features in its payment function for Android and iOS users that were first rolled out in the United States. Its new redesign can help users transfer money and budget, among other things. The new change focuses on users, friends, and businesses, making it much easier to ping money with a new group pay feature. The app will allow you to pay your bill at usage outlets such as restaurants, as well as redeem money for discounts and other promotional offers.
