PayWiz is a Unified Payments Interface (UPI) Mobile Application that has been developed to make the life of an IDBI customer easier. PayWiz can be downloaded from the Google Play Store and can be used by anyone.
Registration for the App
There are certain steps that we will have to follow when registering for the PayWiz app:
- You will have to visit “Google Play Store” and download the PayWiz app on your smartphone device.
- Once you have completed the download process for the app, you will then have to select a specific language of your choice (Only English is provided as an option for now but the company is working on integrating Hindi as well). Once this is done, you will have to click on the “Sign” option which appears on the next screen. The application on your phone will then send out an SMS which consists of encrypted data for security purposes.
- Select the mobile number that you wish to register (in the case of dual SIM phones). Once this is done, you will have to ensure that the mobile number that you have selected has been registered to your account in the bank’s records.
- You will then have to create your Virtual Payment Address (VPA) which will become your default VPA. Set the login password to your account. This login password should either be 4 or 6 digits in length. After this, you will have to read and accept the “Terms and Conditions” document by clicking on the “Next” option to start using the app. Select a security question and provide an answer for it. Keep in mind that this security question has to be answered by you in case you have forgotten your password. The security question is asked to ensure that your account is not used by anyone else but by you alone in case your mobile phone is stolen.
