In my blog post, “What is Google Pay?“, I have explained how to transfer money from one bank account to another account using Google Pay App. But, there are many people who are not yet acquainted with Google Pay and prefer Paytm. Earlier, Paytm was know as a wallet based platform. Now it is much beyond it. Paytm has linked with BHIM UPI to allow it’s users to transfer money from one bank to another directly and for free. In this post, I will explain step by step process of transferring money using Paytm UPI

Adding Bank Accounts to Paytm UPI
All your bank accounts can be added to your Paytm UPI.

- Click on “Add a New Bank Account”
The transfer of money takes place from the “Primary Account”. If you have multiple bank accounts added, you can make an account primary if you wish to let the transactions happen using it. You can also unlink an account by deleting it.
Paytm also offers a lot of exciting cashback offers for using UPI.
What is better: Paytm Wallet or Paytm UPI?
Paytm UPI is much better than Paytm Wallet because when you use Paytm Wallet, you need to load the wallet by transferring money from your bank account to the wallet and then do the transaction. On the contrary UPI allows you wallet-less transfer from your bank account to receiver’s bank account. With UPI, you don’t have to block your money in a wallet and do multiple transfers. UPI is easy, convenient and a faster way to transfer money.
