Google’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI)-based payments platform, Google Pay, on Wednesday (December 24), announced that it has come out with an advisory to help users stay safe from frauds.

Ambarish Kenghe, director of product management at Google Pay, told ET that with the rise of UPI adoption in the country, new users are foraying towards digital payments.

The payment platform also plans to start outreach programmes in raising awareness about the UPI frauds in the coming months.

As a security feature, Google Pay sends notifications as well as SMS to inform users about the money transfer, ensuring that they are aware of the transaction.

On the flip side, if more UPI fraud continues, this could hamper the popularity of the UPI in the country. | To read full story, visit https://startuparound.com/read/1577172607.5445018/Google-Pay-Releases-Advisory-To-Help-Users-Fight-UPI-Frauds?ref=audio_experience
