What is UPI and is it safe?
Why should I adapt to UPI?
The technology also reduces friction between the traditional online payment processes – such as entering card name, card number and expiry date, CVV number and then awaiting for an OTP that will finally complete your transaction.
How can I test my UPI payment app?
Here are a few simple and easy to follow steps which you can perform to check if your UPI app is working smoothly.
To send an amount to a person with an UPI ID:
- Open the Airtel Thanks UPI app
- Select a person from your contact list who also has an UPI ID
- Now, send them ₹1 as a test
- To send them money, simply enter the amount (in this case ₹1), proceed, and enter your personal UPI PIN
- Click on enter, and they will receive the money instantly
- You will also get an SMS notification from your bank that alerts you about the amount that has been spent from your account
- If the entire process goes smoothly, you can proceed to send the rest of the amount to the person if you wish
To send money by scanning a QR code:
- Open the Airtel Thanks UPI app
- Choose the QR code button and point your phone’s camera towards the banner
- Place the banner within the highlighted section on your phone screen
- Now you will be taken to the payment gateway straightaway, where you can enter a token amount (for example, ₹1)
- To send the token amount, proceed to enter your personal UPI PIN and send the amount
- You’ll receive an SMS from your bank notifying that the transaction has been successful.
- Now that the UPI payments app is working well, you can proceed to enter the remaining balance to complete the transaction
