Google Pay offers personal loans between Rs 30,000 to Rs 10 lakh with tenures between six months to six years. For gold loans, Google just acts as a sourcing channel, where customers can reach out to Muthoot Finance and secure a doorstep Pay and Axis Bank did not respond to ET's PhonePe, the most popular UPI payment application, launched a co-branded credit card in partnership with HDFC Bank "This is mostly a distribution strategy from the likes of Google Pay.

But now, as revenue generation through core payments becomes tougher every day, Google is also opening up to offering more credit products and scaling them another American tech giant active in the Indian fintech ecosystem, runs a successful co-branded credit card in partnership with ICICI Bank with more than five million users and is looking to secure a non-banking finance company licence by acquiring Axio (previously Capital Float).
