Amazon is reportedly gearing up to launch a standalone app for Amazon Pay. According to a report by TechCrunch, the company's motive behind this is to increase the user base as well as provide easy accessibility to its payment services for a large number of users.

Presently, the Amazon Pay services are blended in the main shopping app. The feature enables users to do multiple money transfer related activities as well as investments. The users can send or receive money and do travel bookings as well as purchase insurance and invest in assets like digital gold and mutual funds.

Other leading payments apps include Phone Pe that stood first with 6.9 billion transactions and Google Pay accounting for 5.3 billion transactions.
