Before UPI payments became the norm, online wallets were the standard way of making quick payments. Some users still prefer online wallets because they are generally more reliable during peak traffic hours. This is because online wallets do not rely on your bank’s servers to send money. If you are a Paytm user, you can recharge your online wallet using Gpay as well. In this article, we show you how to transfer money from Gpay to Paytm.

Paytm and Gpay support UPI (Universal Payments Interface) transactions, which means you don’t need to transfer money to your online wallet before sending it to the recipient. With UPI, you can send money directly from your bank account to another party at any given time. Here’s how you can send money via UPI on the Paytm app.
Step 1: Launch the Paytm app on your smartphone.
Step 2: Select the transfer method for the UPI transaction. You can choose to send money to the recipient using their phone number or UPI ID.
Step 3: To send money to a GPay UPI ID, tap on ‘To Bank or Self A/c’ and select ‘Enter UPI ID of Any UPI App’. Alternatively, you can also scan the QR Code linked to the recipient’s account by tapping on ‘Scan & Pay’.
Step 4: Enter the amount you want to pay and hit Pay Securely.
Step 5: Enter your UPI PIN to complete the transaction.
