Based on UPI
The Tez app is based on the UPI Payment system. Thus you would find all the features of UPI in this app as well. As you may know that UPI is a payment interface developed by the NPCI. This system facilitates the instant fund transfer between two accounts. The bank account number is not mandatory to use this system.
This system works on the mobile numbers linked to the bank accounts. And money is transferred from one bank account to another. The apps only work as a facilitator.
You can pay money instantly to a bank account. This system works 24 hours a day and in all the 365 days of a year. Thus, there is not a possibility of delay.
The IMPS payment system also gives similar facility but NEFT and RTGS are not always available. NEFT does not transfer money immediately.
There are many UPI based apps in the market. Almost every bank has its own UPI based mobile apps. Such as SBI Pay, PNB UPI etc. But the most prominent names are the Paytm, Phonepe, Freecharge and of course the Tez.
