UPI AutoPay: The Festive Season’s Secret to Effortless Payments and Smart Spending
The festive season is that time of the year when your social calendar is brimming with invites, your shopping lists and sprees are endless, and your mind is constantly occupied with party planning. With all this going on, it’s easy to miss payment deadlines on due bills, EMIs on loans, and your favourite subscriptions.
But we can’t let that happen, can we? That’s why Airtel Payments Bank allows you to set up automatic bill payment through UPI, so you never miss a payment. With automatic payment systems in place, you can focus on the festivities and fun, while ensuring every bill is paid on time without lifting a finger.
What is UPI AutoPay?
UPI AutoPay is a feature that lets you authorise recurring payments like utility bills, DTH recharge, EMIs, and subscriptions, directly from your bank account. Once set up, your payments will go through automatically on the due date, so you don’t have to worry about remembering deadlines or logging in.
Benefits of Using Automatic Payment Systems
Here’s why you should consider switching to automatic bill payment this festive season:
- Stress-free payments
 
At some point in our lives, we have all missed a payment or panicked at the thought of paying late fees. But not anymore. Once you set up AutoPay, your bills will be handled automatically. With automatic payments, you can enjoy the festive season without having to worry about deadlines.
- Saves your time
 
Every month, you log into multiple apps or bank portals to pay your bills, subscriptions, and EMIs. With Airtel Payments Bank, you just need to set up your UPI AutoPay once, and your recurring bills get paid automatically. That leaves you with a lot of time to shop, decorate, and celebrate.
