By simply scanning a unique QR code on their smartphones, customers of any mVisa issuing bank can make digital payments at mVisa enabled retail outlets.

The mVisa solution has been enabled at over 1,000 Smart Shop retail outlets. Now the bank plans to expand this number to over 25,000 shops across India in the next few months.

Additionally, using mVisa customers can also avail Cash@POS facility that allows debit cardholders to withdraw cash by swiping their debit cards at PoS terminals at merchant locations.
