UPI payments are processed using a four-digit or six-digit
PIN.
Continued technological advancements have greatly boosted
online banking, especially with the advent of the Unified Payments Interface
aka UPI. This real-time instant payment system allows users to send money from
one bank to another instantly.
UPI also works as an alternative payment option to IMPS or NEFT
and enables safe transfer of funds. To make UPI payments, users need to set up
their UPI accounts and create a UPI PIN, a password that will be used every
time to authorize a transaction from your mobile payment apps.
What is UPI PIN?
UPI PIN, which stands for Unified Payments Interface Personal
Identification Number, is a four-digit or six-digit number that users set
themselves during UPI registration or later. While users have the option to
choose their own UPI PIN which makes it easier for them to remember, there are
also cases where we often forget our UPI PIN or cannot access UPI accounts on
platforms like Google Pay, PhonePe or Paytm.
However, it is always possible to reset or change the UPI PIN
through a series of simple steps.
How to Change UPI PIN?
1. Open a mobile payment app that supports your UPI service.
2. Go to your profile option displayed on the home screen.
3. Next, click on the bank account option for which you want
to change the UPI PIN.
4. Click on Change UPI PIN/Renew UPI PIN.
5. Add the necessary information such as the ATM or debit
card details associated with your bank account.
6. After entering your card details, you will receive an OTP
via a message to your registered mobile number.
7. Enter the OTP and complete the following steps.
8. Now enter the new four or six digit UPI PIN of your choice
for the selected account.
9. Re-enter the verification PIN and click Confirm to
complete the process.
Meanwhile, since the UPI PIN holds complete control over the
funds in your bank account, it is important to keep it highly confidential and
also set a PIN that is easy to remember.
