The payment method on YouTube has recently been expanded to include Unified Payment Interface (UPI) for its Indian users. This means that users in India who subscribe to YouTube Premium and YouTube Music can now make their payments through UPI.
Previously, subscribers could only pay for Premium and Music using their credit or debit cards. However, with the addition of UPI as a payment method, users now have more flexibility and convenience when it comes to making their payments.
UPI is a real-time payment system developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). It allows users to link multiple bank accounts to a single mobile application, making it easier to make payments and transfer money. UPI has gained popularity in India due to its simplicity and ease of use.
By adding UPI as a payment option, YouTube is catering to the preferences of Indian users who are accustomed to using UPI for various online transactions. This move is aligned with Google’s efforts to adapt its services to local markets and provide a seamless user experience.
With UPI as a payment method, YouTube subscribers in India can now enjoy the convenience of making their payments directly through their UPI-linked bank accounts, eliminating the need to use credit or debit cards. This can be especially beneficial for those who prefer to use UPI for all their online transactions or do not have access to traditional banking facilities.
