How to Transfer UPI ID to a New Phone

What happens when you switch devices

UPI IDs are linked to your bank account and mobile number, not the device itself. When switching phones, you need to re-register your UPI app.

Steps to transfer your UPI setup

Install your UPI app on the new device, verify your mobile number, and re-link your bank account.

Restoring existing UPI ID

Your previous UPI ID is usually detected automatically after verification and can be reactivated.

Security checks during setup

You may need to re-enter your PIN or set a new one to ensure secure access.

Common issues during transfer

Users may face verification delays or SIM-related issues. Ensuring correct SIM placement helps avoid problems.

Best practices for smooth transition

Keep your old device active until setup is complete and ensure stable network connectivity.

UPI transactions are governed by NPCI guidelines. Stashfin is an RBI-registered NBFC. Please ensure transaction details are correct before confirming payment.
