ICICI Bank UPI app Fund Transfer
The UPI is the most simple method of fund transfer among all the method available at the ICICI Bank UPI app. But to use the UPI, you have to create Virtual Payment Address (VPA). It is an address in place of the bank account number and IFSC.
The VPA is a very simple address and you can choose its prefix. It is similar to the email address. The VPA of the iMobile would be like xyz@icici. You can replace XYZ with any alphabets or number or both.
Registration of VPA
- Open iMobile using the 4 digit PIN.
- Click on ‘create virtual Payment Address’
- Choose the linked account if you have more than one ICICI Bank account.
- Give a desired prefix for the VPA. I gave the ‘upipayments’.
- Check for the availability of the VPA.
- Tick the respective checkboxes to make the chosen account default for payment and receiving money. You would see the checkboxes if there are more than one ICICI Bank account.
Transaction Through the UPI Method
- Go to the ‘Home’ page of iMobile App and choose Fund Transfer.
- You would see many ways of Fund transfer. Among these, choose the UPI.
- Again you have many ways to go. Choose the ‘Pay to virtual payment address’. You can also choose the ‘Pay to account number’, this would show the list of your existing registered payee of your account.
- You would see the VPA . If you have more than one VPA, you can choose the desired one by clicking on the dropdown.
- Now enter the VPA to which you want to send money. You would see the VPA suggestions as you type. The name of the payee would appear if you are not sending money first time to a person.
- Enter the amount and remarks. Submit it.
- You would see a confirmation screen with all the details. Look at it and Confirm. If there is some error go back and rectify it.
- After the final confirmation, the money gets transferred immediately. The beneficiary would get the SMS instantly.
You can also send money to a bank account as well using the UPI. In this method, you can choose one of the registered payee.
