Upi: Cred rolls out UPI-based peer-to-peer payments: Rewards and other details – Times of India

CRED has launched peer-to-peer (P2P) payments on UPI. With CRED UPI P2P, users will get access to “a trusted and rewarding payment experience” when they ‘pay anyone’ from their contact list. This includes both Cred members and non-members and will work with both phone numbers and UPI IDs. The new payment experience has been introduced after the launch of Scan & Pay. This feature allows users to ‘pay everywhere’ through UPI.
UPI-based P2P payments: Key details
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) payments on UPI can be used everywhere — from settling bills to paying for groceries, or even sending money to other users.
Cred’s UPI P2P feature will allow users access to the ‘smart recommendations’ which will offer reminders on recurring payments. This feature will also make transactions safer by offering “proactive nudges” in potentially risky payment scenarios. These alerts will appear when members make payments while on call, or during high-value transactions.

CRED Protect will also protect users’ identities through a system-generated alias UPI ID. This will help users to mask personal details like mobile numbers and ensure privacy. Once Custom VPAs are activated, payments will be made via members’ alias UPI ID by default.
Whenever users access the UPI P2P option to make payments to ‘special contacts’ a “Win-Win” feature is activated. This will offer both the sender and the recipient cashback which will be credited to the Cred balance. This balance can be redeemed on any bill payment or store transaction done through Cred.
