UPI is a real-time payment rail routed by KeyBS Pay. India’s Unified Payments Interface — the world’s largest real-time consumer payment network.

Payouts routed through UPI settle to beneficiary accounts in IN. Where UPI is available for the destination country, it is the default rail for eligible payouts.

Every UPI payout is subject to KYB, KYC and sanctions screening. Pricing is disclosed in full before approval; failed payouts return a signed webhook event with a machine-readable reason code and remain refundable per program policy.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is UPI?

India’s Unified Payments Interface — the world’s largest real-time consumer payment network.

How fast is UPI?

Real-time. Actual settlement time is disclosed pre-approval and confirmed by signed webhook once the beneficiary bank acknowledges the credit.

Which countries can I reach through UPI?

IN. Availability is beneficiary-bank-dependent; the router falls back to wire if the beneficiary bank is not on UPI.

What currencies are supported on UPI?

INR is the primary settlement currency for UPI. Multi-currency corridors are supported where the rail permits.

What limits apply on UPI?

Rail-specific ceilings apply; the platform surfaces them pre-approval. Higher-value transactions are automatically routed to wire.

Is UPI available 24/7?

Real-time rails (including UPI) operate around the clock. Batch and wire rails follow the local banking window.

How do I integrate UPI?

You don’t. KeyBS Pay abstracts rail selection: submit a payout to POST /v1/payouts and the router picks the fastest eligible rail. Use "method": "auto" (default) or force a specific method where policy requires.

Is UPI regulated?

Yes. KeyBS Pay routes UPI payouts only through partners licensed for the destination corridor.

Can I get a UPI settlement report?

Yes. Per-rail, per-corridor reconciliation reports are available in the dashboard and via API export.

What happens if a UPI payout fails?

Failed payouts return a signed webhook event with a machine-readable reason code. Funds remain in the source ledger and can be re-routed or refunded.

How is pricing set for UPI?

Quote-based, disclosed in full pre-approval. No undisclosed intermediary-bank deductions on eligible local rails.

Can I use UPI for consumer payouts?

Yes, where the beneficiary and route policy permit consumer flows. Stablecoin routes are business-only.

Are there cutoffs on UPI?

Real-time rails have no cutoffs. Batch and wire rails follow local banking-day windows; cutoffs are shown at quote time.

Does UPI support idempotent retries?

Yes. Every KeyBS Pay payout carries an Idempotency-Key so retries after transient errors are safe.

Which industries use UPI most?

Marketplaces, cross-border trade, workforce and NGO programs are the largest users of UPI on the KeyBS Pay platform.
