Navi UPI Unveils Biometric-Based Payments for iOS, Android at Global Fintech Festival 2025

Navi UPI has introduced biometric authentication and a simplified onboarding process in India, claiming to be the first UPI app to offer biometric payments at scale. Users can now authorise transactions via fingerprint or facial recognition, eliminating the need for a PIN. The system uses secure, OS-native technology, keeping data on-device and enhancing protection against phishing. The onboarding update reduces steps and improves auto-verification, enabling faster account setup. Both features are gradually rolling out on Android and iOS to all users.
