What Is UPI?
UPI is a digital payment facility that allows users to transfer money easily from home. To use UPI, one needs a UPI-supported app such as Paytm, PhonePe, BHIM, or Google Pay. The system enables fund transfers using various details like a QR code, mobile number, or UPI ID. Even users with a feature phone can make UPI payments using the UPI 123Pay button.
