Email can still play this way

In people's minds, email attachments are often used to add files or images. But Google tells us that attachments can also be used to transfer money.

At the Google I/O conference held in May 2013, Google launched a feature that allows Gmail users in the United States to transfer or collect money from their friends via email attachments, even if they do not have a Gmail account. According to the news, Google decided to expand the business to the UK market.

The flow through the Gmail transfer is very simple, when editing the message to select the attachment, click the money symbol (in the United States for the dollar icon $, in the UK for the pound sterling icon £), then enter the amount and then click Send on it. Through the same process, you can send a collection request to your friends asking them to pay you a certain amount.

If you are receiving money for the first time through Gmail, you need to set up a Google Wallet account, bind a debit card or a bank account. After completing these steps, the money you receive is entered into your account, which you can use to spend on Google Play or transfer money to a bank account.

The feature is expected to be officially launched in the UK in a few weeks ' period, with users at least 18 years of age.
