How to use multiple bank accounts in Google Pay

Google Pay is one of the most popular modes of making payments these days. The digital wallet can be used to pay in stores, make online purchases and to send money to friends and family. Users need to simply link their bank accounts to the app to start transacting via UPI. However, for those of you who have more than one bank account, Google gives you the option to link multiple bank accounts to Google Pay.
