Google Assistant now lets Google Pay users in the US send and request money using voice commands

Users who do not have a Google Pay account would be prompted to set one up the first time they want to send money. Google has announced that users in the US would be able to send or request money from the contacts on their Android device or iPhone just by giving Google Assistant a voice command that starts with “Hey Google”. “To get started, just say ‘Hey Google, request $20 from Sam for the show tonight’ or ‘Hey Google, send Jane $15 for lunch today’ and let your Google Assistant do the rest,” Kansara added. Transactions made via Google Assistant would require authentication beyond just your voiceprint to send money, either with their Google password or fingerprint, according to The Verge.
