UPI, short for Unified Payments Interface, is a real-time payment system that lets you send money instantly from one bank to another, using just one mobile app. You can link multiple bank accounts to a single UPI app, making transfers seamless without juggling logins or cards.
It’s widely used across India and supported by banks like Airtel Payments Bank, Bank of Baroda, HSBC, Indian Overseas Bank, Paytm Payments Bank, Standard Chartered and Citibank, to name a few.
