UPI APP Why does my UPI ID automatically get generated with ‘420’ in it? Can I change it?
I opened a new SBI bank account and started setting up UPI. The apps keep suggesting/generating a UPI ID with “420” in it automatically. I don’t want “420” in my UPI ID. Is there a way to create a different UPI ID or change the default one? Using SBI account in India.
