What is a QR-bill payment?

QR-bill payment is a convenient method of making transactions using QR codes. To initiate the payment, you must scan a QR code with the recipient's payment details, like their UPI ID. You will then have to enter the payment amount afterward. This process enables quick and hassle-free transactions, eliminating the need for manual entry of recipient details. With the rise of digital payments, QR-bill payments have become increasingly popular due to their simplicity and efficiency.

How QR-based payment works

  • The code: Businesses generate a unique QR code containing payment information. This could be the amount due, merchant details, or a link to a secure payment portal.
  • The scan: Customers use their smartphone's camera app or a mobile payment app to scan the QR code displayed at checkout counters, on receipts, or even product packaging.
  • The payment: Once scanned, the customer's phone interprets the code and brings them to a secure payment screen. Here, they can review the amount, enter any additional information (if needed), and confirm the payment using their mobile wallet or bank credentials.

Benefits of QR-based payment

  1. Convenience: QR-based payments offer a seamless and quick way to transfer money, requiring only a smartphone and an internet connection.
  2. Security: These payments are highly secure. They use encryption technology, reducing the risk of fraud and unauthorised access to sensitive information.
  3. Cost-effective: QR payments often incur lower transaction fees compared to traditional methods. This makes them an economical choice for businesses and individuals alike.
  4. Accessibility: QR codes can be generated and scanned offline, allowing for transactions even in areas with limited internet connectivity.

Security considerations

  • Reputable source: It is important to ensure that the QR code originates from a trusted source, like a recognised merchant, to avoid phishing scams.
  • App security: Use a reputable mobile payment app with strong security features like two-factor authentication for added protection.
