What is Amazon Pay UPI?
Amazon.com, Inc. is an international technology firm that specializes in e-commerce, cloud-based services, digital streaming, and AI. Amazon created the “Amazon Pay Unified Payments Interface (UPI)” to enable safe payments and financial transactions on its platform.
The National Payments Corporation of India (NCPI) established the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), which enables users to send and receive money. Moreover, UPI does not require details such as a bank account number or an IFSC code to transfer funds.
Customers can buy products from the Amazon app and also pay for their everyday transactions, such as recharges and bill payments, using their Amazon Pay UPI ID without going through a cumbersome process.
Now let’s discuss the big question “is Amazon Pay UPI secure?“
Is Amazon Pay UPI safe?
You may use Amazon Pay with no worries because it is entirely secure to use. You get notifications while you pay, whether on the Amazon app or any third-party website. Also, you are not required to enter your bank account number, IFSC code, or name every time you want to make a transaction. Hence we are of the opinion that Amazon Pay UPI is 100% secure and safe.
You can consider the following tips to ensure extra security of your payments:
- Set a strong UPI ID that isn’t easily guessable by others.
