Private sector lender ICICI Bank has launched mobile app 'Eazypay' that enables merchants, retailers, and professionals to accept instant cashless payments on mobile phones from their customers through multiple digital modes.

A first-of-its-kind application, Eazypay offers customers the improved convenience of paying by using their mobile phone through Unified Payment Interface (UPI), any credit or debit card or Internet banking, ICICI Bank said in a statement.

"Any current account holder of ICICI Bank can instantly download Eazypay app and start using it. A non-customer of ICICI Bank can also use the app after opening a current account with the bank," it said.

Currently, the app is available on smartphones with Android operating systems but soon it will be also available for smartphones using the iOS operating system.

It is also possible to collect money for home delivery of goods/services, telesales and payment-on-delivery options by e-commerce companies where the buyer and the seller are not physically present at the same location.

The seller can raise an invoice in the app by simply entering the amount, selecting the preferred mode of payment by the buyer along with the buyer's mobile number or Virtual Payment Address (VPA) for UPI-based payments.

Thereafter, upon getting a notification on SMS, the buyer can simply enter his/her details to pay through credit or debit card or net banking or pockets, it said.

For payment using UPI, the buyer can pay either by scanning a Quick Response (QR) code displayed on the seller's phone or directly through their VPA.

This secured app enables to transfer money collected directly to the current account of the merchants and professionals, reports PTI.
