How to Add Multiple Bank Accounts to Google Pay: A Step-by-Step Guide

Google Pay is one of the most popular UPI-based payment platforms in India for conducting digital transactions. One of its useful features is the ability to link multiple bank accounts under a single user profile. Adding more than one bank account to a Google Pay account offers several benefits. It lets users keep an eye on separate personal and professional transactions and provides flexibility in choosing which account to pay from. Adding multiple accounts also enables transactions in situations like bank server outages and exceeding the UPI limits. Users have to set one account as the default for sending money. 

If you're looking to streamline your digital payments, linking multiple accounts to Google Pay is recommended. Here's how you can add multiple bank accounts to Google Pay:

7. Verify your mobile number with SMS

How to Set Your Primary Account for Sending Money on Google Pay

These steps can be repeated to add more bank accounts. To set or switch your primary account for sending money on Google Pay, follow these steps:

1. Click the Profile picture on the Google Pay app
2. Select Bank account
3. Tap on the account you want to update

Before adding multiple bank accounts to Google Pay, users have to make sure that each bank supports UPI and is listed on the platform.
