OTP may vanish on Axis cards with one touch approval

Flipkart, in partnership with Axis Bank and PayU, has launched biometric authentication for Axis card payments using Face ID or fingerprint on Android and iOS devices. The move replaces SMS OTP checks, aiming to speed approvals and reduce failed attempts and fraud risks like SIM-swap, using device binding and issuer-side biometric verification.

Biometric card payment approvals via Face ID or fingerprint replace OTP
Enabled first for Axis Bank cardholders using issuer-level biometric verification
PayU handles merchant-side flows while Axis uses Wibmo for verification
Designed to cut OTP delays and strengthen protection against digital fraud
