Why? Well, because traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/razorpay.com\/blog\/different-types-of-payment-methods\/\">methods of payment<\/a> for investments have often presented multiple challenges.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Picture this: You&#8217;re all set to invest your hard-earned money. You fire up your trusty old device, ready to dive into the world of wealth multiplication. You decide to use good old netbanking. You type in your username, or what you think is your username, but it&#8217;s been so long since you last logged in that your brain has erased the password from its memory. You try a few more combinations, only to find yourself locked out of your own account. Great start, right?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then there&#8217;s UPI. While UPI is fantastic for many things, it has one tiny drawback \u2014transaction limits. Want to invest a substantial sum? Sorry, you&#8217;ll have to do it in small, bite-sized chunks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>But why are these payment options so restricted for investors?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It all boils down to that pesky account validation process. Before you can even think about making an investment, you need to prove you&#8217;re not an imposter.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Netbanking, UPI, and good old bank transfers (<a href=\"https:\/\/razorpay.com\/learn\/neft\/\">NEFT<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/razorpay.com\/learn\/rtgs\/\">RTGS<\/a>) were the only methods that supported account validation.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Razorpay decided it was high time to introduce a game-changer \u2013 <strong>Debit Cards for investments<\/strong>.
