What is PSP in banking term?
PSP (Payment Service Provider) means a technology service in a UPI ecosystem that acts on behalf of banks to make or receive payments. You may encounter this issue when the bank is down for any reason, and you cannot perform normal banking functions such as: checking bank balance, or transfer funds to other banks.
What to do if you encounter “PSP Not Available” error?
First of all relax, there is nothing we can do. PSP errors are handled by banking system, and we account holders are not responsible for this error. You can wait a couple of minutes or read the downtime instructions provided by the banks.
