What is PayID?

PayID is a simple service that makes paying money to any account fast, safe and easy without knowing or remembering any bank account details. Azupay automatically provides you with a unique PayID, only valid for your purchase at check-out (in the form of a QR code and email address). You can then use this PayID to transfer money from your online or mobile banking app. Azupay manages the funds settlements and check-out validation process with the merchant.

Is PayID Safe?

PayID is a secure method of payment that keeps you in control. You don’t need to provide any personal or financial information when you use a PayID.

How do I pay with PayID?

To pay using a PayID, simply copy the PayID generated when completing your payment, paste it into the recipient field of you online or mobile banking, and complete the payment for the required amount.

How Does Azupay Work?

Azupay let’s you pay instantly from your bank account using your bank’s existing app. Azupay transfers your funds securely in real-time and does not require you to use a credit or debit card. Simply checkout with Azupay, pay with your banking app using the special PayID provided and your transaction is complete.

Azupay is the closest thing to paying with real cash from your bank account. Other payment methods can take days to transfer your funds. If your bill is due tomorrow, pay with Azupay to avoid those pesky late fees!

What Systems Does Azupay Use?

Azupay runs on AWS PCI compliant infrastructure. It accesses the New Payments Platform and settles transactions through the Cuscal Exchange.

What If Something Goes Wrong During The Payment?

Should anything happen while you process your payment, Azupay will automatically cancel and refund the transaction.
