Initiate Peer to Peer Payment

Introduction

Peer to Peer Payments allow a customer to pay or receive funds using a unique Peer to Peer ID without directly involving the bank account numbers. Each customer is identified by a Peer to Peer Payments ID provided by the service provider upon registration. The customer is able to link his bank accounts to the Peer to Peer ID and carry out the financial transactions directly using the Peer to Peer ID

This screen allows the customer to make payments or initiate collection requests to other Peer to Peer IDs from their ID.

Note:

Transactions from a bank account to a Peer to Peer ID or vice-versa are not allowed. Peer to Peer transactions are allowed between two Peer to Peer IDs belonging to the same service provider only.
