What is UPI?
Before diving into how to change the UPI pin, let’s understand what is UPI. Unified Payment Interface(UPI) is a single platform that merges several banking services and features under one umbrella. Real-time bank to bank payments or transactions can be made using a Unique virtual payment address(UPI ID). With just a UPI ID and PIN, you can check balance, transfer money via the UPI platform, or UPI payment supported apps such as Google Pay, PhonePe, FreeCharge, Mobikwik, and others using the internet or without internet.
Yes, you can pay without the internet as well because NPCI uses USSD(Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) platform with UPI integration allowing users to transfer money without requiring an active internet connection.
