Tez was the previous name for Google Pay. Anyone may use Google Pay to send money to friends and family, pay bills, recharge their phones, and receive money directly into their bank account. Google Pay is a mobile payment platform and a digital wallet.

Google Pay is a payment processing system developed by Google to facilitate in-app, internet, and contactless transactions using mobile phones, allowing users to transfer money or make purchases using their Android smartphones, tablets, or smartwatches.

What Is Goldback In Google Pay?

Goldback in Google Pay is a trending feature of G-pay. Goldback is just like cashback in g-pay with some changes. Goldback is a standard value of gold converted into rupees so whenever you transact the money with the help of Google pay it gives the rewards in the form of google back which is stored in google vault or google locker.

Goldback Feature In Google Pay

A monetary system based on the gold standard is one in which paper money is freely convertible into a set amount of gold. In other words, gold backs the value of money in such a monetary system.

You get cashback directly in your wallet when you purchase something or recharge on Paytm, and occasionally Google Pay provides you rewards as Goldback but not in your wallet.

With the arrival of digital gold transactions, purchasing and keeping gold has become much easier. People who want to invest in gold no longer need to go to a real store; they can just log on to applications like Google Pay, which sells digital gold, and buy it.

Within your existing payment app, Google Pay allows you to buy and store gold from MMTC-PAMP India Pvt. Ltd. online. The Google App has a Gold Vault where you may keep all of the gold you buy via the app. You can sell your gold in your Gold Locker back to MMTC-PAMP digitally.
