For starters, UPI or United Payment Interface is a new generation digital payment system developed by the National Payments Corporation of India. Built upon IMPS (Immediate Payment Service), it facilitates instant money transfer between two bank accounts just with a smartphone. UPI supports both inter-bank and intra-bank transactions without any additional charge. It is continuously monitored by the Reserve Bank of India. Speaking of Samsung Pay, it is the South Korean company’s own digital wallet and mobile payment platform. Mainly aimed at providing hassle-free transactions, Samsung Pay supports payments through NFC as well as MST (Magnetic Secure Transmission). While you may already know about NFC, the latter is an interesting technology which can make your Samsung smartphone mimic a debit or credit card. The phones emit magnetic waves which any modern card swiping machine can read as a real ATM card. Smartphones supporting Samsung Pay include Galaxy S7 / S7 Edge, Galaxy S8 / S8+, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Egde+, Galaxy A7 (2016), Galaxy A7 (2017), Galaxy A5 (2016) and Galaxy A5 (2017).
