Do You Know about UNIFIED PAYMENT INTERFACE( UPI)?

 Dear Bankersdaily Aspirants,

Recently National Payments Corporation of India developed the INSTANT real time interface for facilitating interbank transactions. Though it is developed by National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI) this interface is regulated by Regulated by Reserve Bank of India (RBI).It works for transferring funds between two bank accounts on a mobile platform. So it’s very important for us to know the importance, Benefits, uses of UPI. Here is the complete information about UPI and its App.

About UPI:

UPI is built over Immediate Payment Service (IMPS) for transferring funds. Being a digital payment system it is available 24*7 and across public holidays. Unlike traditional mobile wallets, which takes a specified amount of money from user and stores it in its own accounts, UPI withdraws and deposits funds directly from the bank account whenever a transaction is requested. It uses Virtual Payment Address (a unique ID provided by the bank), Account Number with IFS Code, Mobile Number with MMID (Mobile Money Identifier), Aadhaar Number, or a one-time use Virtual ID. An MPIN (Mobile banking Personal Identification number) is required to confirm each payment.

Unified Payments Interface (UPI) is a system that powers multiple bank accounts into a single mobile application (of any participating bank), merging several banking features, seamless fund routing & merchant payments into one hood. It also caters to the “Peer to Peer” collect request which can be scheduled and paid as per requirement and convenience. Each Bank provides its own UPI App for Android, Windows and iOS mobile platform(s).
