The UPI app is a part of Canara Bank’s Canara ai1 Mobile Banking Super App that offers over 300 features, including deposits and insurance. 

“A smarter way to pay is here! The Canara ai1Pe App brings a next-gen UPI payment experience that’s faster, intuitive and built for the future,” Canara Bank said in a social media post on Threads. 

The app can be used by both existing and new UPI users, and is designed for everyday use and routine payments. 

Features of Canara ai1Pe

Canara ai1Pe supports all UPI features, like:

Universal UPI: Users can link accounts from any bank and make unified payments.
Seamless payments: The app enables quick payments through QR codes and directly from the home screen widget.
Autopay: Auto debit subscriptions are also available on the app; users can automate EMIs, subscriptions, and make recurring payments (like utility bills).
Security: The app offers enhanced security with device binding and UPI PIN authentication. Device binding allows an application to limit transactions to only the registered mobile/phone.
UPI services: All UPI services, like IPO/Mandate/Services, Speed Analytics, bills and recharges, and UPI Circle, are available on the app. UPI Circle allows the primary account holder to set delegates, like their family members, who can make payments (within the predefined limit).
UPI Lite: The app also offers UPI Lite for small transactions. Using UPI Lite, users can make payments without entering their UPI PIN for every transaction.
Rewards and offers: Users can get cashback, discounts and offers on select transactions. 

The app has been launched in collaboration with NPCI BHIM Services Limited (NBSL), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) that manages the BHIM (Bharat Interface for Money) payment app.

BHIM is a government-owned UPI-based online payment interface enabling bank-to-bank transactions in India. 

Canara Bank’s new UPI app is offering ‘Next-Gen UPI Payment Experience for account holders across all banks’, the app said in its social media post. 

The bank also has a separate app for corporate customer-centric services, Canara ai1 Corporate, that offers features like bulk file upload for payments and transfers, tax and GST payments, bills and utilities, and forex transactions.
