YouTube adds UPI as a mode of payment for Indian users of YouTube premium

YouTube has launched Unified Payments Interface (UPI) as a mode of payment for its users in India for both YouTube and YouTube Music.

Users can now conduct transactions on the app directly from their bank account, using their unique UPI ID.

The UPI payment option on YouTube allows users to purchase monthly or quarterly prepaid subscriptions for YouTube Premium and YouTube Music Premium, purchase or rent movies, as well as pay for other in-app paid features such as SuperChat and Channel Memberships to engage with and support YouTube creators.

The video streaming platform earlier allowed users to pay for subscriptions and other in-app purchases only through credit and debit cards.
