Credit card challenger slice enters UPI payments market

Bengaluru: Accelerating its journey in creating a one-stop payment platform, fintech company Slice on Thursday launched the integration of unified payments interface (UPI) into its app for all its existing and waitlisted users.
Following its trial in 2021, the company said it is now rolling out the integration in a phased manner for its users.
“At slice, our purpose is to make the world better at using money and time. And slice UPI is built to fulfill this purpose,” Rajan Bajaj, Founder – CEO, slice, said in a statement.
“While building our UPI product, we ensured that we removed all the friction – there is no advertisement, there is no cross-selling, and there are no 100+ CTAs. The question we keep asking ourselves is “how can the user do this in 1 second or even less time?” And we wanted to make this happen, now,” Bajaj added.
