“We are currently targeting the smaller merchants to get them to use Tez, we are currently also working on integrating our systems with larger merchants,” said Diana Layfield, vice-president, product management at Google.

“Even NPCI is making some improvements on its integration with the merchants. Once that is done we will build our merchant integrations aggressively as well.”
