While UPI has become a popular option for money transfers, there are situations where it might not be available or convenient. Here are some alternative methods for transferring money:
Ways to transfer money without UPI
- Internet Banking: Most banks offer online banking platforms where you can transfer funds between your accounts or to other accounts within the same bank. You will need your bank login credentials and the recipient's account details.
- Mobile Banking Apps: Many banks offer dedicated mobile apps for managing your finances, including money transfers. Download the app from your bank and follow the instructions.
- Payment Wallets: Digital wallets like Bajaj Pay wallet allow transfers to other users within their platforms. You can also transfer to bank accounts linked to these wallets.
- ATM Cash Deposit: Visit an ATM and deposit cash directly into the recipient's account using their bank card details.
- Bank Branch Transfer: Visit a bank branch and initiate a transfer using the recipient's account details. This option might involve fees.
- Cheque: Issue a cheque payable to the recipient and hand it over. This method is slower but might be useful in some situations.
How to send money offline?
- USSD banking: Some banks offer USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) banking services, allowing basic transactions like money transfers using mobile phone menus. Dial the bank's specific USSD code and follow the instructions.
- Aadhaar pay: This service allows sending money using Aadhaar numbers. The recipient needs to have an Aadhaar-linked bank account.
