How does Paytm Ensure Security of its UPI Users?

Paytm mobile applications allows users to transfer money between bank accounts instantly using UPI. Paytm has implemented several security measures to ensure the safety of user data, some of which are listed below-

  • Paytm restricts its users from taking screenshots during transactions to avoid unintentional sharing of financial details with others
  • Paytm follows two-factor authentication processes at every step of the transaction
  • Paytm also offers a”Paytm Security Shield” to protect against theft, unauthorized access, and digital frauds 
  • While most UPI payments are successfully completed without any issues, there may be rare instances where users experience problems with payment failures due to delayed/troublesome operations with banks. In such cases, you get notified of the issue instantly and your transactions are taken care of
  • Paytm customer support team closely monitors the status of pending cases and works to resolve any issues within 24 hours. If a payment is unsuccessful, the bank will perform a reconciliation process and the deducted funds will be returned to the user’s bank account within two business days

In rare cases, where a bank-to-bank transfer may be shown as successful, but the money is not received by the recipient, it is recommended to check if the money was transferred to the correct account. If the correct account was used, there may be instances where the bank does not provide confirmation of the money addition to NPCI, despite multiple checks. In these cases, NPCI considers the payment as approved and initiates a reconciliation process at the recipient’s bank, with the goal of adding the funds to the account within two business days. Paytm takes extensive measures to ensure the security and safety of its users’ money in all circumstances.

Wrapping it Up!

If you are experiencing problems with a transaction or bill payment using the UPI system, you can follow the process outlined above to file a complaint through the Paytm app if your transaction was performed via Paytm. UPI is generally considered a very convenient and secure way to make transactions, so if you are having difficulties, using these steps can help resolve the issue.
