Transaction Limit

1 Lakh as of now

What are the uses ?

1) Send Money to anyone’s bank account
2) Request Money from anyone’s bank account
If you don’t want to use VPA you can use person’s IFSC code, bank account number also.

3) Your phone number is not public like it’s in case of Paytm, mobikwik and other online wallets
