Changing consumer behaviour is paralleled by a growth in online transactions, boosting the utility and usage of UPI payments. In 2021 alone, the total UPI transactions rose from Rs 4.31 lakh crores in January, to Rs 8.26 lakh crores by December. As of April 2022, 316 banks in India have an active presence on UPI. UPI as a payment medium allows instant and easy transfers, making business owners from small to big, opt for UPI enabled transactions.

 

Fundamentals of UPI payment mode.

UPI - Facilitating Online Payments

UPI enables real-time payments, letting you transfer funds from one bank account to another instantly, on a mobile platform. Some of the key features of UPI are:
