Refers to banking services available online through a bank's website or mobile app.
This helps our country to move towards a “cashless” economy. Cashless here means
holding money without paper notes and coins.
● Convenience - You can access your bank account through a simple smartphone.
This way you don’t have to worry about visiting a bank to withdraw money.
● Access - you learn how to control your own bank account and can access all
information from your balance to your transactions every day. This can also help
in budgeting better!
● Cost effective - Netbanking allows you to use your normal smartphone for bank
related things. This saves you time and also the cost of visiting a bank often.
● Multiple Banking Options - helps you access all bank services at your fingertips.
You can apply for loans, make a new FD etc all through your phone.
That is why the country is moving progressively towards net banking. You should take
advantage of your smartphone and do the same!
There are various apps that one can use to gain the advantages of Net Banking. Here
we will show you how to start on an app like Google Pay.
Step 1 - Download the App - go to your App Store or Google Play Store and download
the app you wish to use, here Google Pay.
Choose your bank from the various options given there. Remember to enter the bank
where you already have a bank account.
Now, Google pay will automatically verify your details and link your bank account to your
phone.
You will be required to enter this pin every time you try to pay someone through your
Google Pay phone app.
This is a very important step and you must remember that this number will allow anyone
to pay through your account. Therefore, NEVER share your UPI PIN with ANYONE.
● After setting up your UPI PIN, you can start using Google Pay to:
○ Send money to friends and family.
○ Pay at shops and online merchants that accept UPI payments through QR
codes.
○ Recharge your mobile phone or pay utility bills.
○ Check your bank balance and view transaction history.
Other UPI apps work in a very similar manner. However, if you are ever facing an issue
setting up the account, you can always reach out to one of us and we will help you out!
Google Pay uses multiple layers of security, including your UPI PIN and Google
PIN/phone lock, therefore it is a completely safe way to conduct financial transactions
provided you keep your passwords safe.
You can also enable notifications and be aware of how much money is coming into or
going out of your bank account.
