India’s love for UPI is undeniable. With an average exceeding 650 million transactions per day, it is clearly the crowd favourite. A quick scan and a beep can settle payments for anything and everything.
From buying vegetables at the local market to splitting a dinner bill with friends, it covers it all.
What started as a government-backed initiative has become a national habit. UPI has ushered in a new era of convenience. And as a result, it’s now an integral part of how we live, shop, and move through the day.
 

QR codes are everywhere today, from shop counters and café tables to fuel stations and even on utility bills. What began as a small digital convenience has become one of India’s most trusted ways to pay.

UPI has become the go-to payment mode across the country today. It's fast and convenient, but at the same time, it's dependent on the internet and bank servers. 

Two people and a government are in need of money. Rohan wants ₹3 lakhs for their wedding. Mohit wants ₹50 crores to expand their business, and the government needs ₹10,000 crores for an infrastructure project. 

Rohan was in a financial pinch. His car broke down two weeks before his salary day. His cousin said, “Just take a personal loan.” His colleague said, “Why don’t you get a salary advance loan?” Both sounded like smart options. 

If there’s one figure that almost every Indian takes seriously, it’s the CIBIL score. And why not? It affects our eligibility to access credit. 
That said, awareness around CIBIL score rules is still questionable. Even today, nearly 50% of Indians refrain from checking their score because they believe it would lower their score.
 

If you need funds urgently, Google your options. You will most likely come across these two terms: mini loans and personal loans. While they may look the same, they are actually different options. 

UPI's immense convenience and real-time transaction capability make it the most preferred payment method today. In August 2025, UPI recorded 20 billion transactions worth INR 24.5 lakh crores.
In addition to the retail niche, UPI is making its convenience known in the financial services sector as well, with features like UPI AutoPay. UPI AutoPay automates your recurring payments—EMIs, subscriptions, etc. —improving payment convenience a notch further. Let's understand that in more detail.
 

Picture this: you’re sipping tea at a roadside stall. It’s time to pay. You grab your phone, scan a QR code, and ka-ching. The payment is settled within minutes. Now imagine you’re in the queue for the next iPhone. When it’s your time to pay, you repeat the action. Scan and pay. 
No cash, no card, just a quick UPI payment. That’s how common it’s become in India. From street vendors to large retailers, Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has changed the way we pay. It’s fast, safe, and built for the modern, digital India.
