Gpay adding convenience fee for recharges

[Jhon Anand]

Gpay is now adding convience fees for mobile recharges just like Paytm via UPI as well as cards. They changed their t&c silently.( I didn't receive any mail regarding this)

Google Pay Starts Charging Convenience Fees on Mobile Recharges in India - MySmartPrice

Google Pay has started to levy convenience fees on mobile recharge transactions. The app is charging up to Rs 3 extra for prepaid recharges.

www.google.com

My two cents : Even if they start charging they should keep it low and earn by volume.

Do you guys think this will have an effect on Axis Ace after they start charging on other utilities too?

Comment down your opinions 😄😄

Paytm has also started this for mobile recharge for some users.

That's what will happen. Did recharge from apay 😂😂

In a few years, Amazon Pay will start charging the convenience fee too. It is just a matter of time. That's all.

At some point, we have to use the operator's app or website to recharge. Similar things will happen to other utility bills too. Electricity, gas cylinder booking, insurance, etc.

For the convenience of paying from a single entity, we will end up paying the convenience fee.

Not necessarily.

They do earn comission on these recharges & bill payments.

 

[sxchzy]

Yep, the operator pays some amount for each payment

In phonepe the recharge amount is shown inclusive of the convience fees that they are charging I always use apay but once I had some cash in phonepe wallet so I did with that and afterwards some got an email from phonepe for the convience fees after which only I got to know about it and that was the last day I used phonpe.

 

[newprouser]

are the charges only shown post the transaction ? I tried one now on GPay, but I don't see any charges until UPI payment page.

 

[sxchzy]

i think its for payments via dc /cc
