Banking Connect - IBMB or NBBL
NBBL Banking Connect is PayU's implementation of NPCI Bharat BillPay Limited's standardized NetBanking framework. It modernizes NetBanking without changing a merchant's existing NetBanking integration.
Customers authenticate inside their own bank app instead of entering NetBanking credentials on a merchant or PayU page. On mobile, the customer can use a bank-app deep link. On desktop, the customer can scan a NetBanking QR code with a bank app. If the app-first path is unavailable, the journey can fall back to the familiar bank-website flow.
Why merchants use Banking Connect
- Mobile-first journey: Customers complete payment in the bank app.
- Password-free checkout: Customers do not need to remember or enter NetBanking User IDs and passwords during checkout.
- High-value payments: NetBanking continues to support high-value, uncapped payments.
- No integration change: Existing merchant NetBanking integrations remain unchanged.
- Phased rollout: PayU can enable banks individually or use traffic splits before a broader rollout.
- Existing operations: The reconciliation and settlement processes do not change.
Payment journeys
| Journey | Customer device | How the customer pays |
|---|---|---|
| App intent | Mobile browser or app | Selects a bank and opens the installed bank app through a deep link. |
| QR | Desktop or web | Scans a NetBanking QR code with the bank's mobile app. |
| Website fallback | Any supported device | Continues through the familiar bank website flow when the app-first path is unavailable. |
