What is UPI 123PAY
As mentioned above, the UPI 123PAY is aimed to help feature phone users make digital payments easily. The new feature will work on simple phones and it also does not require an internet connection. As explained during the event, 123PAY is a three-step method to initiate and execute UPI transactions for users.
The feature will allow users to make transactions through feature phones in four different ways - calling an interactive voice response (IVR), using app functionality in feature phones, proximity sound-based payments, and through a missed call functionality.
