Here’s how the Google Tez bill payments feature works
Google Tez users will see different billers depending on their city and region. Users can also search for their billers by name. Once users have located their biller, they need to enter the number associated with their account to link it to Tez and give it an easy nickname to remember.
Once the accounts are linked with Google Tez, for most utility bills the app will automatically fetch any available bills. Users need to just tap on New Payment and then Pay your bills. For every new biller users pay this month, they will get a scratch card with up to ₹1,000.
