Link with your Bank Account:

More than 30+ banks are offering this mobile transaction service through BHIM App with the help of UPI. You will be asked to select anyone of the bank account from the list, where you should have an account to link with BHIM.  

What you must to do if you have more than one bank account?

Currently, BHIM allows you to connect only one account. But it will be easy to change the account in a minute and make it as a primary account.

For example, If you have selected ICICI bank, the control will move to next page that shows four digits of your bank account along with IFSC code.  From this you can make sure your account has been connected with BHIM. This will be your primary linked account.

Create UPI PIN Number:
