“Until now, Tez has only been able to pay participating merchants or transfer between users, but it will soon be possible to pay utility bills, too. According to Google, Tez has handled 140 million transactions in its first ten weeks and has more than 525,000 businesses signed on to accept payments. Those are some impressive numbers, but Google is now ready to take it to the next level. More than 70 utilities and direct-to-home services are on board to accept bill payments, and the feature will roll out to users over the next few weeks.”
