CSB UPI
The Unified Payment Interface(UPI) offered by Catholic Syrian Bank (CSB) is named CSBPAY. This is a multi functional UPI app that is powered by NPCI. Once downloaded and installed, it will operate on your Android mobile phone and will enable you to collect, send, or receive payments in a hassle-free and secure manner.
CSB was one of the first banks in India to go live on the UPI platform. Customers of the bank can opt to send or receive funds using multiple credentials, such as mobile number, Aadhaar number/UIDAI, UPI virtual address, account number, and IFSC. The fund transfer will be executed through a virtual payment address that negates the need to reveal your savings account number and bank IFSC code to others. This makes CSB UPI a highly secure mode of fund transfer.

When a customer has accounts in multiple banks, he/she is required to download the mobile banking apps of all those banks in order to transact from each account.

The user can link all of his/her bank accounts under a single app. Transactions can also be performed from any of the accounts.
