Google Pay may soon allow users to make UPI payments over NFC

Making payments through Google Pay may become easier in the future. Google is reportedly planning to introduce NFC-enabled UPI payments in India. As spotted by Android Police, the tech giant has created a support page explaining how NFC payments will work on Google Pay.

Near Field Communication or the NFC technology allows one to make contactless payments. With the NFC integrated on the Google Pay app, users will no longer be able to scan a QR code and manually input a UPI ID to transact digitally.

One can simply tap his/her phone on the payment terminal to make a payment. Currently, only the Pine Lab terminals support NFC payments in India.
