Phonepe starts loot convinence fee/service charge on Recharges above 50
https://m.economictimes.com/tech/technology/pho...
Although this is being tested for select people,KINDLY CHECK before blindly recharging the ACTUAL AMOUNT you pay and especially for those who don’t know the process & Less tech savvy people who just have learnt to recharge on phonepe blindly
Walmart group’s digital payments firm PhonePe has started charging processing fees in the range of Re 1 to Rs 2 per transaction for mobile recharges done for value above Rs 50, even through UPI. The company is the first digital payments app to have started charging for UPI-based transaction which is being offered for free by its competitors.

Hi Dimers
Pl take advice of @Smak
“If you want to take revenge, stop using their UPI. Ppl will stop Recharging through them if convenience fee is charged. This will be double blow. Loss in Upi + loss in recharge”
All of us dimers should be like piranha 🦈 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/P...ha
- attack immediately when app tries to act over-smart.
Sometimes we will prevail ✊🏻 sometimes we won’t but at least there will be joy in collective effort 💪🏻 – pingpong

This is what Paytm enjoying in Twitter.
phonepe is already the worst app.
We need desidime now more than ever. Every service is getting charged and convenience fees everywhere.
That’s really TRUE,but how long does it take others also to start charging??
Looks like we’re going back in time.
The main and foremost purpose of apps like Paytm/Rechargeitnow/FreeCharge/Mobikwik and other websites were to offer users option to recharge by their own for free and PhonePe has broken this first principle on which these apps were established
Remove Aamir Khan as brand ambassador 😅
Why? Is aamir khan also started taking service charge
Paytm new offer use code FREE to save convenience charges
Name it payphone just so that phonepe knows it’s competitor
Isko bolte ha “Vinash Kale, Viprit Buddhi” (when one’s destruction time is near, one goes against his/her brain or stops using it).
bus yahi din dekhna baki tha ispe bhi charges laga do
Some people are against NPCI’s 30% Market Cap for Third Party UPI Apps.
Now they will understand, why 30% Market Cap is important.
Yes..jus checked for 199 plan they charging 2 conv fees
Yes platform fee of 2 is being included..
It is difficult to believe that they expect customers will use their services by paying additional charges when there are so many options available to do the same at discount.
It would be better if they remove recharge option in their app instead of taking such a foolish step.
the game begins now.
Ek to full talktime milta nhi aur upar se ye .
So in short we should blame govt not phonepe
I had stopped phone pay, free charge and paytm recharge in recent months
Just hope people give a fitting boycott for such practices… To prevent other sites from. Following the same
All telecom. Co. Give min of 4% on the transactions, then why these sites are chsrging 1 or 2 Rs above that
Isn’t 4% not enough profit for the basic recharge technology investment?
It’s also a matter of time before they revert 4% and start charging if things are going this way….
See many not so savvy people don’t know how to recharge online other than simple upi apps as they blindly mastered the steps,while offline recharge shops have gone long back (atleast reduced from hey days) if still offline available it’s hassle of going out physically still doesn’t make sense,so the last resort would be banks and upi even for savvy people…..
So we have to forget cb atleast in future not maybe yet but eventually…
I don’t remember when was last time I used phone pe to recharge
I always use amazon pay or payzapp and FreeCharge for small recharges
Hey, @abhishek012 I have a question, please answer!
How do PhonePe/Google Pay UPI Platforms earns money because we don’t pay them anything!
Is it just that they just want to acquire customer base and want to launch or sell other products like insurance,investments etc!
Because PhonePe only shows ads
Free is just for time being. But when market matures they will start to charge. Until that time it is there investment for future profits.
This days PhonePe and PayTM is only used for scan and Pay(based on merchant QR)
Recharges/utility payment – Amazon Pay rocks .
Backup option is Gpay+Ace combo.
Download phonepe app old version 4.1.19
No extra charges.
Uninstall phonepe and stop using their services. Switch to amazon for recharges. Walmart hates Amazon the most.
