SUMMARY

# BHIM App में AI पावर्ड MyUPI फीचर लॉन्च

NPCI ने BHIM App में नया AI पावर्ड 'MyUPI' फीचर लॉन्च किया है। इससे अब गलत अकाउंट में पैसे भेजने और UPI फ्रॉड की समस्या कम होगी। यह फीचर AI तकनीक का इस्तेमाल कर ट्रांजैक्शन से पहले रिसीवर की पहचान वेरिफाई करता है और संदिग्ध लेनदेन पर अलर्ट देता है। यूजर्स को पेमेंट भेजने से पहले प्राप्तकर्ता का नाम और डिटेल्स दिखाई जाती हैं, जिससे गलती की संभावना खत्म होती है। इसमें फ्रॉड डिटेक्शन सिस्टम भी है जो रियल-टाइम में धोखाधड़ी रोकता है। यह फीचर डिजिटल पेमेंट को और सुरक्षित बनाने की दिशा में बड़ा कदम है।
