FreeCharge consumers can now buy Google Play recharge codes

FreeCharge, a digital payments platform, announced the launch of 'Google Play' category on the app and website on Wednesday.

Through the new category, FreeCharge allows consumers to buy a Google Play recharge code on its platforms. Customers can select the 'Google Play' option on their FreeCharge app and website, enter their mobile number, enter the desired amount, make payment and receive a Google Play recharge code.

Payment for these recharge codes can be done using FreeCharge wallet balance, debit cards, credit cards, Netbanking or UPI. The recharge code can be redeemed instantly through the "Redeem Now" link on the Google Play store.

"At FreeCharge, our endeavour remains to diversify the payment categories for our consumers. This is another step towards expanding our swift and secure payment experience for more and more frequent transactions. We are delighted to bring the expansive media consumption, services, apps and entertainment options Google Play Store offers, to FreeCharge users," said

Chief Business Officer of FreeCharge, Sudeep Tandon.

Consumers can also redeem the recharge code later on Google Play Store as the codes are also sent to the user to their registered email and through SMS on the mobile number entered by them at the time of purchase of the code.

By topping-up their Google Play account through the recharge codes bought on Freecharge, consumers will be able to purchase digital content on Google Play Store like movies, games, e-books, android paid apps and so on.
