Google Tez will now allow for water, electricity, DTH and mobile bill payments

Here’s what to keep in mind about the bill payments feature on Google Tez app

Google Tez will allow users to link their utility account for bill payments, be it for gas, mobile or broadband or the electricity account. Users can just to Payments>New and the option for “Pay your Bills” will appear. Tapping on this will show a list of supported utility companies. The user can then tap on whichever company’s bill they need to pay. Tez will then ask the user to link account details with the app along with the bill amount. For example, if a user is paying the utility bill of broadband, they will need to account details for the same along with bill amount.

For recurring bill payments, Google Tez will also have the option of sending users a notification when their bill arrives. Users will be able to check whether they have paid a bill by simply tapping the biller’s name on their Tez home screen.

The Tez app will also give the option to view all past payments grouped by bill, as well as manage bills from multiple accounts. Google also says once users have linked their account, for most utility bills Tez will automatically fetch any available bills. Google is also offering scratch cards up to Rs 1000 for every new bill a user pays in the month of Februrary.

As Tez is built on UPI, it allows users to transfer money to even to those who are not on the app. Users can still pay them with their bank account number or UPI ID. Tez works with all 50+ UPI-enabled banks. Google is not charging for transactions done on Tez. Tez works on both Android and iOS, in English and Hindi. The Android version is also available in Bengali, Tamil, Marathi, Telugu, Kannada, and Gujarati.
