ICICI iMobile App Biometric Authentication: Are you also tired of the hassle of entering a 4 or 6-digit PIN every time you make a UPI payment? If so, this news is just for you. ICICI Bank has introduced a new and impressive feature in its iMobile Pay app, which now allows you to make UPI payments of up to ₹5,000 without having to enter a PIN. This will not only make payments easier but will also save time. Let's find out how to use this feature...

How to Make Payments Without a PIN?
Now, users of the ICICI Bank iMobile Pay app can perform UPI transactions—such as sending money to someone, scanning a QR code at a store to pay, or making online payments—using biometric authentication. This means that payments of up to ₹5,000 can now be easily processed using fingerprint sensors and Face ID security features. Please note that biometric verification can only be used for transactions up to ₹5,000. For amounts exceeding this limit, users will still need to use their UPI PIN. For your information, PhonePe had launched this very same feature for UPI payments in India earlier this year.
