No Charge, Rather Incentive
The Tez does not levy any charge on fund transfer. Rather it gives incentive for using this app. The Google Pay (Tez) app is rewarding its customers for using Tez for fund transfer and bill payments. The first time user and referrers also earn handsome cashbacks. Of course, this generosity has attracted hordes of users to the Tez. Meanwhile, Paytm, Phonepe and BHIM also offer rewards for using their apps.
Google is bearing the cost
It is true that Google has to bear the cost of Tez app. Running and managing an app of such a big scale require big money. But, Tez is not thinking about this as it has to acquire much more customers. The Google can afford it because it has the deep pockets. But small players can’t spend so much amount thus their UPI apps are not as much popular. However, no UPI app could muster the courage to charge on UPI payments. Rather NEFT and IMPS has also become cheaper. These are also the Fund transfer systems.
