Mobile Intelligence APIs

Mobile to UPI API

Find the UPI ID and the linked name for a mobile number, with an optional name match.

What it verifies

Finds the UPI ID (virtual payment address) and the name linked to a mobile number. Send a name as well and the response says whether it matches the linked name, with a match score. When a source was unavailable the answer says so, because the list of UPI IDs may then be incomplete.

Who uses it

  • Fintech and payments apps that only have a customer's mobile number for a payout
  • Lenders and collections teams confirming the name behind a mobile number's UPI ID
  • Platforms that match a payee's name against the name linked to their mobile number
