To make digital payments even more convenient and useful, the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has taken a significant step. Now, millions of users utilizing the BHIM UPI app will be able to check their credit scores directly within the app itself. With the introduction of this new feature, users will no longer need to visit separate platforms to track their financial health.

**Agreement Between NPCI and CIBIL**
NPCI has announced that its subsidiary, BHIM Services, has entered into a partnership with TransUnion CIBIL. Following this collaboration, users can now view their CIBIL score and credit report directly on the BHIM app. A key highlight is that no credit data will be accessed without the user's explicit consent, thereby ensuring that their privacy remains completely secure.

**New Feature Available in This Version**
The feature to check credit scores on the BHIM UPI app has been made available in version 4.0.19 and all subsequent versions. The objective of this update is to transform the app from being merely a payment tool into a comprehensive financial utility, enabling users to gain a better understanding of their financial standing.

**Biometric Authentication Also Introduced**
Before this, in the month of March, NPCI BHIM Services Ltd. introduced a biometric authentication facility within the app. Under this system, users can easily execute UPI transactions of up to ₹5,000 using fingerprint or facial recognition. This has made the payment process significantly more secure and faster than before.

**BHIM App Packed with Useful Features**
India's indigenous UPI app, BHIM, is rapidly gaining popularity in both urban and rural areas. The app is available in over 15 Indian languages. It comes equipped with features such as expense splitting, 'Family Mode,' and spending analytics, which assist users in managing their expenses more effectively.
