without putting your full bank account at risk

And this is key.

Wallets, physical and digital, were and are the option for those who want to exercise that option. Just as in physical wallet, we take money from the bank account and put in the wallet to use. If any, the risk is/ should be only to the amount in the wallet.

i did notice this on ikea this week. fuckers would not let me enter my upi id. this is stupid. upi id was such an easy way to outsource payments to another device. opening app would not let me pay using rupay. i had to end up ordering from desktop to get the qr code that did let me pay using rupay on upi. idiocy all around.

a lot of times my niece order from zomato and enter my upi id. i guess they just were not happy with this convenience coz maybe scammers were using this to scam people.

now to achieve the same result, i would have to get the QR code image. and then pay using a UPI app. and if payment is more than 2000 rupees, I would have to find another phone to show me the QR code so that I can pay more than 2000 rupees in a single payment. fuckers.

Tata 1mg app doesn't show QR code so I just cannot pay from my account on dad's phone. Had to add my credit card number on his account. Incredibly stupid decision.

I have to book urban company appointments for him regularly. Would probably have to do the same on that app as well.
