UPI has become the most popular way to make digital payments in India.
It’s fast, easy, and widely accepted.
But many users don’t know that UPI also offers some hidden features that can make payments safer and more convenient.
Today, we’ll explain three such features that can completely change the way you send and receive money.
Hide Your Mobile Number
Most people share their mobile number while sending or receiving money.
This can lead to privacy risks.
But UPI gives you an option to hide your number completely.
All you need to do is:
Open your UPI app
Go to Settings
Create a unique UPI ID that does not show your phone number
Now, instead of sharing your mobile number, you can simply share your unique UPI ID and receive payments securely.
Create a QR Code With a Fixed Amount
If you collect the same amount repeatedly—like rent, shop payments, or office dues—you don’t have to enter the amount every time.
UPI allows you to create a QR code with a fixed amount.
Once the other person scans the code, the amount appears automatically.
This saves time and avoids mistakes.
To set this up:
Open your UPI profile
Tap the three dots on the top right
Enter the amount and save your fixed QR code
Just share this code whenever someone needs to pay you.
Use UPI Payment Reminders
UPI apps now act as smart payment managers.
They let you set reminders for upcoming payments. Whether it’s a bill, loan installment, or personal transaction, you can set a time and date.
At the scheduled moment, your phone will notify you so you never miss a payment again.
