Digital payments in India are currently in a transitional phase. Increasing number of people are looking for smarter, safer, simpler, and faster payment options.

To keep in line with the developments, IndusInd Bank has launched its own Bharat QR-based product, enabling merchants to collect payments effortlessly. With Bharat QR, your customers would no longer have to fend for cash or carry cards. Just a quick scan from their smartphone, and the transaction is complete!
But what is Bharat QR? How does it work? Read on to find out.
What is IndusInd Bharat QR?
Bharat QR is a quick response code platform. It allows merchants to accept payments from customers simply via a QR code. But what exactly is a QR code? QR codes are two-dimensional barcodes that store information and can be read via a smartphone camera. Customers can link their credit or debit cards to the Bharat QR app and make cardless and cashless electronic payments just by scanning codes in merchant outlets.
How Does It Work?
Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how IndusInd Bharat QR works:
- Step 1: Your customer launches the IndusMobile or any other UPI-enabled app
- Step 2: Next, the customer will scan the QR code at your outlet
- Step 3: Once scanned, the customer will have to enter the purchase amount
- Step 4: To go ahead with the transaction, the customer will have to enter their PIN
- Step 5: Once the PIN is authorised, you’ll receive the amount directly in your bank account
What Are the Benefits of IndusInd Bharat QR?
1- Secure Payments
Today, cybercriminals are constantly on the prowl, looking for opportunities to acquire confidential data. However, since all Bharat QR transactions are PIN protected, you can rest assured regarding the security. Plus, Bharat QR also employs several sophisticated encryption techniques, making transaction data impossible to crack.
2- No Need for Credit/Debit Cards
Card users often face the issue of misplacing their cards. Even if this isn’t the case, there is always a chance of transaction delays or faulty payments. Bharat QR apps eliminate these problems as it is faster and easier to operate.
3- Eliminates Maintenance Cost
Bharat QR is on its way to making POS terminals obsolete. POS devices are expensive to maintain and require multiple installations, especially in large stores. Bharat QR demands zero installation costs since all you need is a QR code to accept payments.
