- Enable Two-Step Verification on WhatsApp
- Use Whatsapp without Phone Number or SIM Card
With this new payment method, your smartphones, as well as a basic phone will soon double up as virtual debit cards and you’ll be able to send or receive money instantly. Most of the banks are now regulated this feature and some third-party apps also have this service; such as Tez, PhonePe, PayTm and now the WhatsApp.
Whatsapp is the most used instant messaging app and if UPI will be successfully integrated into it, then no one will install an extra app to make payment through UPI.
