What is UPI?

Unified Payments Interface (UPI) is a real-time payment system in India that facilitates instant fund transfers between two bank accounts on a mobile platform. It is commonly used for peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions, merchant payments, and bill payments. UPI enables users to link multiple bank accounts to a single mobile application and make payments using virtual payment addresses (VPAs), QR codes, or account details.
