PhonePe, the Flipkart owned UPI (Unified Payments Interface) based payments app founded by Sameer Nigam, Rahul Chari, and Burzin Engineer in December 2015. It is a digital payment system that allows you to send and receive money directly from your linked bank account.

As this platform is based on UPI, the only thing you need is to have UPI based bank account and create a UPI ID. Your account details will be automatically retrieved from the bank registered mobile number over a secured network.
There are more than 40+ Indian banks that are live on the UPI platform such as State Bank of India, Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, etc. If your bank is not live on the UPI platform, you can’t be allowed to add your account to the PhonePe app.
The best part of the app is you don’t need to load funds into your wallet to mobile recharge or bill payment because money will be directly debited from your linked bank account safely and securely.
