  2. What is UPI - the Apps, Charges, and Everything Else You Should Know

  3. Of late, you've probably been hearing a lot of jargon flying about money transfers - terms like UPI, NPCI, IMPS, among others. There's been a lot of excitement about new UPI-enabled apps such like Axis Bank’s Axis Pay, ICICI's Pockets, and FlipkartsPhonePe, but what do these apps do? We're here to help and make sense of all these terms. In really simple terms, the UPI (Unified Payments Interface) is a payments system - just like a cheque, your debit card, or a mobile wallet. • The UPI, which went live last week is interoperable between banks, so it doesn't matter if you have an account with Axis Bank or ICICI Bank or Yes Bank - and that's thanks to the NPCI (National Payments Corporation of India), which is the same organisation that enables our ATMs to be interoperable, allowing you to use an Axis ATM card in an ICICI ATM, for example. The UPI has gone live with 21 banks including most of the major banks. Missing from the list right now is State Bank of India, but this is expected to change too.

  4. Let's get into the details now. Here are all the questions we had about the UPI, answered. Let us know if you have any other doubts about the system via the comments, and we’ll try out best to answer. What is Upi app? • As we explained above, it's a payments system. You could use UPI to transfer money between friends and family or to pay your landlord, or to make a payment at a shop, or to buy something online. The money will be debited from your bank account, and transferred to the recipients account instantly and securely. • It's based on the IMPS (Immediate Payment Service) system that you might have used with your netbanking app by now, and its available 24x7, even on Sundays and holidays.

  5. How is it different from NEFT, RTGS, IMPS?Good question. First up, NEFT and RTGS both involve a pretty significant delay, so you don't need to bother about that. UPI is based on IMPS, so in a basic sense, there's no big difference. UPI is basically IMPS designed for a mobile world - it's much more convenient to use, and easier to set up. What do we mean? Well, let's say that you want to transfer money right now - maybe your friends just got married and you want to send them some cash as a gift they can use in any way they want. Or you need to send money for any other reason.

  6. Right now, using IMPS, you'll have to go to your bank's app - no using third-party apps for this - and go to the funds transfer section. Then you'll have to add a recipient; you have to authorise a recipient before you can send them money, and then until you manually remove them, you're stuck with them in the recipients list where you could accidentally select them at any time. Adding a recipient means entering a lot of details about them as well - you need to know their bank account number, and IFSC code (and depending on the bank app you're using, also their bank branch), which are all long strings of numbers. It's confusing and painstaking. • With UPI, just open a Upi app that's linked to your account, enter the payee ID (which is something simple and memorable like gopal@icici), the amount, and click transfer.

  7. How do I get started with UPI?It's really simple - all you have to do is download one of the 21 banking apps from the Google Play store that supports the UPI. The full list of banks is here: Andhra Bank, Axis Bank, Bank of Maharashtra, BhartiyaMahila Bank, Canara Bank, Catholic Syrian Bank, DCB Bank, Federal Bank, ICICI Bank, TJSB Sahakari Bank, Oriental Bank of Commerce, Karnataka Bank, UCO Bank, Union Bank of India, United Bank of India, Punjab National Bank, South Indian Bank, Vijaya Bank and YES Bank. • Others such as Bank of Baroda, HDFC, and State Bank of India are coming soon on the UPI. Once you download the app, you need to verify your phone number, and then link your bank account to the app. Once you've confirmed your bank details, you're good to go and can start using the app to send or receive money.

  8. Do I have to have an ICICI account to use Pockets or a Yes Bank account to use PhonePe? • No. This is one of the big plus points of the UPI - it's interoperable between banks, so you don't need to have a different app for every account you use. If you're already using the iMobile app and want to use UPI on that, go ahead because the experience is pretty good, but otherwise, you could download something like Flipkart'sPhonePe, and link all your different bank accounts to that app. You can use the Axis Pay app, link your ICICI account to it, to transfer money from your ICICI account to any recipient. It's simple and easy. Where can I use it? • Right now, there aren't too many use cases for UPI in place. You can use it to do person to person transfers, direct to a bank account. So it's convenient for paying your rent, and some shops that sell high value items also allow you to make payments via bank transfers, and these will also be accessible. We've used IMPS to pay movers and packers, so that's another scenario where UPI will be useful. However, it's ease of use means that it should see wider adoption soon.

  9. Why not use a debit/ credit card? • Couple of reasons. First up - let's say that you need to pay a friend back for lunch, and need to send them some money. You can't do that with a card. UPI is going to be very useful in peer to peer scenarios. Paying your landlord is another scenario where it's convenient and where cards won't work. But what about things like paying your utility bills, or online shopping? Cards work there, but you have to enter a lot of details to get it to work - you need to enter your card number (long string of numbers to remember) and then you have to enter a CVV, and your name, and the expiry date, and then you have to enter your OTP to complete a transaction. • That's a lot of details to keep typing in to get your lunch. With UPI, you'll have to enter your virtual ID which is short and simple, and then you'll have to enter an mobile pin (MPIN) or one-time-password (OTP). It's simpler, faster, and still as safe.
