NUUP: Difference between revisions

The National Unified USSD Platform (NUUP) lets you use UPI by dialling *99#, without having to install a proprietary app.

== *99# and BHIM ==

Besides NUUP, NPCI also operates BHIM which is a proprietary app for Android smartphones. The two are linked in the sense that dialling *99# is essentially a different way of accessing your BHIM account. Practically, this means that if you run into issues setting up UPI payments with *99#, you can often work around this by borrowing a proprietary Android phone from someone and installing BHIM on that to link your bank and set up UPI payments. Once done, you can uninstall the app and make payments directly via *99#.
