“This is an important move for the UPI ecosystem, which will enable more users to send money to any UPI app, encouraging wider adoption. We are at the forefront of UPI payments, empowering users with a robust infrastructure for seamless and secure payments. This further strengthens our mission to increase financial inclusion in the country,” a Paytm Payments Bank Ltd spokesperson said in a statement.

1. To start, you must open Paytm and tap on ‘UPI Money Transfer’.
2. In the ‘UPI Money Transfer’ section of the Paytm app, tap on ‘To UPI Apps’.
3. Now, you need to tap on ‘Enter mobile number of any UPI app’ and enter recipient’s mobile number.
