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#. | Besides NUUP, NPCI also operates BHIM which is a proprietary app for Android smartphones. | ||

While NUUP is theoretically supposed to work on all USSD supporting carriers in India (all the provider apart from Jio), the service is not very well maintained and keeps going down, or, in some cases, doesn't work at all. | While NUUP is theoretically supposed to work on all USSD supporting carriers in India (all the provider apart from Jio), the service is not very well maintained and keeps going down, or, in some cases, doesn't work at all.

The NPCI [https://www.npci.org.in/product/nach/all-members lists of banks] supporting *99# payments. However, each of them has their own slightly different interface to the service, and not all of them work seamlessly. | The NPCI [https://www.npci.org.in/product/nach/all-members lists of banks] supporting *99# payments. However, each of them has their own slightly different interface to the service, and not all of them work seamlessly. *99# service apparently requires the bank to manually activate the service on their end for users, and implementation is dependent on banks. Similar to telecom providers as above, we believe banks are currently not required to adhere to any particular operational or technical standard for the service. | ||
