Here is what you need to do in order to send money from US to India with Google Pay.
Google Pay vs PayPal
PayPal is one of the most popular ways to send money between countries. The platform offers easy ways to send money based on current market exchange rates, and payments are usually instant. So it’s possible that you’re wondering whether you should use PayPal or Google Pay for sending money from US to India. Let me just outline some key differences between how PayPal works vs how Google Pay works, so you can come to a better, informed decision.
- Transfer Speeds and Accounts
Google Pay and PayPal both boast of almost instant transfers. However, while Google Pay simply uses your phone number, PayPal requires an account for both the sender and the receiver.
Obviously, as a payment service you’d expect such international transfers to have some charges alongside.
Note: The fees varies based on the amount you’re sending. For high value transactions, such as $1000, PayPal shows $0.00 fees for payments via PayPal balance or bank account, but $30.49 for payments made via Credit and Debit cards.
