Google Pay has added NFC-based tap-to-pay for users in India. With this tool, users can add their credit or debit card as a payment method and use it for tokenized card payments at NFC-enabled terminals, according to a report by Android Central.

"We're committed to offer the most secure payments experience to our growing base of users, and tokenization helps tor replace sensitive data such as credit and debit card numbers with tokens, eliminating any chance of fraud," Sajith Sivanandan, business head, Google Pay and NBU, India, said in the report. "We are hopeful that the tokenization feature will further encourage users to transact securely and safely in the current times, and expand merchant transactions both online and offline."

Currently this feature is only available to users with SBI or Axis Bank cards.
