Unified Payments Interface, popularly known as UPI, is a revolutionary payment system that has transformed the way people in India transfer money. It allows for seamless and instant transfers between bank accounts using a mobile application. UPI has made banking simpler, faster, and more secure. However, many people are still unsure about whether current account holders can use UPI. In this blog post, we will answer this question and explain everything you need to know about UPI and current accounts.
Firstly, let’s understand what is a current account. A current account is a type of bank account that is primarily used for business transactions. It is designed to facilitate frequent transactions and withdrawals, making it ideal for businesses that need to manage their day-to-day expenses. A current account holder can deposit and withdraw money as and when required and can also avail other services such as overdraft facilities, cheque books, and online banking.
Now, coming to the question of whether current account holders can use UPI – the answer is yes. UPI is available to both savings account holders and current account holders. UPI enables users to link their bank accounts with a virtual payment address (VPA) and make transactions using their mobile phones. To link a current account with UPI, the account holder needs to register for UPI using the mobile banking app or website provided by their bank. Once the registration process is complete, the current account holder can use UPI to make and receive payments.
