ICICI Bank said that through this facility, new users, including those who are not customers of the bank, can now quickly access the UPI ID, which is automatically linked to ‘packets.’

ICICI Bank today announced the integration of a UPI or Unified Payments Interface ID into its digital wallet pockets, signaling an exit from the current practice that requires those IDs to be linked to a savings bank account. The second-largest private bank in the country will enable customers to pay the UPI with a ‘pocket’ wallet through this facility.

As stated by ICICI Bank on Wednesday, May 26, new users, including those who are not customers of the bank, can now instantly access the UPI ID, which is automatically linked to ‘packets.’

According to the statement, customers do not need a bank account to use the UPI ID in the ‘packets’ system. In addition, customers who already have a UPI ID will now receive a new ID when they enter the ‘Packs’ app.
