  • If it fails?

Buy Jupiter for the app. Read the partner-bank line for the deposit. Same rule as Fi.

What it is

Jupiter is a Bengaluru fintech. Deposits sit at a scheduled commercial bank partner (historically Federal Bank). DICGC follows that bank. UPI already made transfers free, so Jupiter sells UX, cards, and credit.

Best for: Urban Indian users who want a prettier Federal Bank account.
