Google Pay is one of the most popular UPI-based payment platforms for digital transactions in India. A useful feature is the ability to link multiple bank accounts to a single user profile. Adding multiple bank accounts to a Google Pay account has several benefits. It allows users to track personal and professional transactions separately and provides flexibility in choosing which account to use for payments. Adding multiple accounts allows transactions to be processed even in situations like bank server issues or exceeding UPI limits. Users are required to set one account as the default for sending money.

If you want to simplify your digital payments, it's best to link multiple accounts to Google Pay. Let's learn how:

How to add multiple bank accounts to Google Pay?
Open the Google Pay app on your Android or iOS device.
Tap the profile icon in the top right corner.
Select a bank account.
Tap Add bank account.
Select your bank from the list.

Select the account you want to add from the list of accounts.
Verify your mobile number via SMS.
After verification, the new account will be added to your Google Pay account.

How to set your primary account for sending money on Google Pay?
Additional accounts can be added by repeating these steps. To set or change your primary account for sending money on Google Pay, follow these steps:

Click your profile picture on the Google Pay app.
Select a bank account.
Tap the account you want to update.
Tap Set as the primary account in the options below.
Now, that account will be used by default when sending money. You will be able to receive payments on all linked accounts.
Before adding multiple bank accounts to Google Pay, ensure that each bank supports UPI and is listed on the platform. All linked accounts must have the same mobile number registered on Google Pay for verification. Banks may also charge SMS fees during setup. Furthermore, UPI transaction limits vary across banks, so choose an account based on your usage. It's best to remove any closed or inactive accounts to avoid confusion.
