Workflow

With ZWITCH, account holders can transfer money to an individual or an entity in 2 steps.

Follow the steps below to make a transfer to an account.

1. Create a beneficiary: First, the account holder must add the person or entity they want to transfer money to as a beneficiary to their account. Currently, physical accounts only support the creation of a beneficiary using an account number and IFSC.

2. Create a transfer: After creating a beneficiary, you can initiate a transfer to the beneficiary. On successfully initiating a transfer, an OTP is sent to the debit account holder’s mobile number.

3. Verify OTP: To process the transfer, you need to verify the OTP received. This serves as a check, verifies that the account holder initiated the transfer, and helps prevent fraud. The bank starts to process the transfer only after the OTP is verified.
