A superb payment app like myAirtel is all the money you need when you’re out and about – so leave your wallet or purse at home and get shopping!

Till a decade ago, if you watched a sci-fi flick in which entire landscapes changed at the press of a button, or cars drove on metal roads without a driver, you might have thought, “This happens only in movies!” But driverless cars are a reality today, as are several phenomena such as using your phone to make payments.

Digital payments have become a reality of our times. After the demonetisation programme of November 2016, many people switched to making online payments and shopping online to save cash. Today, users have realised the utility of payment apps not just to transfer money and shop, but also to pay bills, book tickets and plan their finances in a structured way.

In fact, payment apps are so versatile that the next time you head out the door, you can leave your bag and wallet behind – just take your smartphone along!

For everyday payments. Are you eating out with a group but have forgotten your wallet at home, or don’t have the change to pay your share of the bill? Or did a friend pay for you when you wanted to buy a new dress and now you need to pay them back? There’s no need to pay by card or cash – just open the myAirtel app and pay your share of the money instantly to your friend.

For savings. The myAirtel app also offers the stupendous Airtel Payments Bank, which functions like a savings bank account using your 10-digit Airtel phone number as the account number. It offers the chance to make savings and earn interest on it, as also keep track of your finances and manage your expenses in a more efficient manner.
