This app is basically an Aadhaar based mobile payment application and is a rebranded version of UPI (Unified Payment Interface) and USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data).

The app has been specially launched to facilitate people to make simple digital payments directly from their bank account.

The setup and usability of the app seem to be quite simple and through the app, users can send or receive money to a phone number, check balance, or scan a QR code to make a payment without sharing a phone number. Additionally, users can use the BHIM app to transfer money to non-UPI banks using the IFSC code.

Users will need to dial *99# to access it. The good thing about this method is that an internet connection would not be required to use the core functionality behind the BHIM app.
