UPI

UPI (Unified Payments Interface) is an immediate real-time payment system that helps in instantly transferring funds between two bank accounts through a mobile platform using VPA, MMID along with Mobile Number or A/C No & IFSC Code. UPI can also be used to pay merchant who accept UPI as payment mode.

Virtual Payment address (VPA) is an identifier that can be uniquely mapped to an individual account using a transaction service. It can be xyz@bandhan where in “XYZ” is unique name or number or alphanumeric that you can choose for yourself. Bandhan Bank UPI services offer customers the option to create three virtual addresses so that they can use the virtual address for “Send” and “Collect” transactions. The beneficiary need not show account details as only virtual address is required for the transactions.

After successful addition of bank account and creation of virtual address, click on set PIN for setting up UPI PIN for transaction. The PIN would be required for authorizing transaction. An OTP would be delivered on the register mobile number. you also need to enter the last 6 digits of your debit card and its expiry date. You can use change PIN option to change the PIN required for transactions.

There are various reasons for a UPI transaction failure:
The system would be down
Wrong UPI PIN
Incorrect beneficiary UPI ID
If the receiver is not on Bharat Interface for Money

You will get an SMS on your registered mobile number on successful completion of the UPI transaction.

On entering the wrong UPI PIN the transaction will fail and show an error 'Wrong / Incorrect UPIN entered'.

This is a feature of the UPI payment platform (built by NPCI- an RBI regulated entity). The UPI platform retrieves the accounts details linked with your mobile number in a masked manner. This exchange is done over secure banking networks and we don't store or ever use it.

The service is instant and available 24X7, even on public/bank holidays. Customers can transfer funds in simple steps by providing the virtual payment address of the beneficiary. Also, there is no pre - registration required for the beneficiary.

UPI services are available 24 hours of the day, all days of the week, throughout the year. There are no holiday restrictions on UPI transactions.

UPI can be accessed by any type of individual savings and current accounts, sole-proprietorship accounts, OD accounts and savings/current joint accounts where the user is one of the holders and holds a valid debit card in his/her name and the mobile number is registered with bank.
