KYC & Digital Wallets: Everything you wanted to know

Digital wallets, like HDFC Bank PayZapp, have revolutionised the way we handle payments. With PayZapp, you can effortlessly pay for recharges, utility bills, movie tickets, groceries, flight tickets, shopping, taxi rides, and more. Additionally, it allows you to transfer money instantly to friends, family, or anyone else.

To ensure security and regulatory compliance, the Reserve Bank of India mandates you complete your KYC (Know Your Customer) process to utilise digital wallets fully.

KYC stands for Know Your Customer. Banks and financial institutions conduct a verification process to confirm your identity. For PayZapp, this means linking your PAN card or Aadhar number to your account to meet KYC requirements.

If you haven’t completed your KYC, your PayZapp wallet balance remains secure. However, you won’t be able to add more funds to the wallet or transfer money to your bank account until your KYC is updated.

Complete your KYC to enjoy all the benefits of PayZapp without restrictions.

If you already have a KYC-compliant HDFC Bank account and your bank details match those on PayZapp, your wallet should automatically be KYC-compliant.

You can also link your Aadhar or PAN through the PayZapp app to complete KYC compliance.

Here's how to do it:

• Step 1: Open the PayZapp app on your phone.

• Step 2: Go to Settings and select "Update KYC."

• Step 3: Enter your Aadhar details.
   

PayZapp will validate your information and update your status.

Becoming KYC compliant offers several benefits, including loading and sending money via PayZapp without interruptions. Additionally, your wallet limit will increase to ₹1 lakh per month and ₹5 lakh per year, providing greater flexibility for transactions.
