Today I’m going to walk you through how to send and receive money with Google Pay. Be sure you are using the most recent Google Pay app.  There is another one in the app store that will actually say “Old App.” Once you download the new app, you will sign into the app using your Google login.

  1. After you log in, you’ll be taken to the Pay option (middle tab at the bottom).
  2. You will then need to add some form of payment method such as a checking account, debit card, or savings account.
  3. The Insights tab will show you all the payment methods you have added to your account. 
  4. To add a payment method, select Add Account and put in your account information when prompted. You can also scan card information.
  5. You can keep a Google Pay balance to pay merchants or people from.  Your Google Pay balance can be found under the card icon located to the left of your profile image at the top.how to send and receive money with Google Pay
  6. Here you can check your balance or add money. To add money, you will link your bank account.

  2. Someone can send you their QR code which you will scan and then it will allow you to send them money.
  3. You can also pay businesses like a restaurant by searching for the business name.
