UPI ID Validator

Check that a UPI ID (VPA) is correctly formatted before sending money. We also decode common handles to show the underlying bank.

Format: name@bank (e.g. @oksbi, @ybl, @paytm).

Common UPI handles

  • @oksbi, @okhdfcbank, @okicici, @okaxis — Google Pay
  • @ybl, @ibl, @axl — PhonePe
  • @paytm — Paytm Payments Bank
  • @apl — Amazon Pay
  • @upi — BHIM

FAQ

How do I know which bank a UPI ID belongs to?

The handle (after @) tells you. @oksbi → SBI via GPay; @ybl → PhonePe; @paytm → Paytm Payments Bank; @okhdfcbank → HDFC via GPay. Our validator decodes the common ones.

Can I have multiple UPI IDs?

Yes — most apps let you create up to 5 VPAs across handles. Useful to separate personal vs business, or to test before committing to a primary handle.

What if a transfer goes to the wrong UPI ID?

Money transferred to a valid VPA cannot be auto-reversed. Contact your bank and the recipient bank within 3 days for a chargeback. UPI dispute resolution typically takes 7-15 days.
