Compare Federal Bank UPI — FedMobile & Supported UPI Apps and AU Small Finance Bank UPI — AU 0101 using the controlling cost, balance, rate, tenure, liquidity, limits, eligibility and current first-party bank evidence for this product type.
Compare the two source-backed records without collapsing unlike conditions into a winner score.
Federal Bank customers who want current evidence for Lite/delegated UPI capabilities and prefer a profile that marks missing bank-specific limit evidence instead of filling it with a generic NPCI number.
AU customers who want a current bank-level UPI profile that distinguishes outgoing debit limits, incoming credit controls and device-platform cooling periods.

| Decision factor | Federal Bank UPI — FedMobile & Supported UPI Apps | AU Small Finance Bank UPI — AU 0101 |
|---|---|---|
| Payment / channel cost | No separate ordinary UPI subscription fee is modeled from the reviewed Federal evidence; account/card/app and other payment-service charges remain separate. | No separate ordinary UPI subscription cost is modeled from the reviewed AU pages; underlying account/card and other service charges remain separate. |
| Eligible funding source | Requires an eligible UPI-linked bank account for account-funded UPI. Federal Bank has also extended UPI access to eligible sole-proprietorship current accounts through supported third-party UPI apps. | Requires an eligible linked bank account and registered-mobile setup for account-funded UPI. AU’s app registration verifies the mobile number by SMS and the eligible bank account/debit-card details. |
| UPI capabilities | Federal Bank reports UPI for eligible current-account use, UPI Circle availability through supporting apps and UPI Lite Auto Top-up. Its FY2024-25 report describes Lite payments up to ₹1,000 without UPI PIN. | AU 0101 supports UPI transfers, QR, UPI Lite, UPI Circle and UPI Mandate features. Current AU pages also expose separate outgoing and incoming transaction controls. |
| UPI / security limits | The engine does not publish a single Federal Bank ordinary UPI daily ceiling from the reviewed current material because it is not documented there with sufficient scope. Current NPCI use-case ceilings and any lower live bank/app risk limit therefore remain controlling. | AU currently publishes ₹1 lakh/day UPI in its digital transaction limits. Its UPI page states Android users are limited to ₹5,000 or 20 transactions for the first 24 hours; iOS users are limited to ₹5,000 or 20 transactions per 24 hours for the first 72 hours, after which the ordinary ₹1 lakh/day and 20-P2P-transaction structure applies. |
| Registration eligibility | Eligible Federal Bank account holders using FedMobile or a supported UPI app, subject to the account constitution, registered mobile/device and app/bank eligibility. | Eligible AU customers need the registered mobile/SMS verification, eligible account and debit-card verification to establish the UPI ID/mPIN setup in AU 0101. |
| Payment / funding relationship | The remitter account can be Federal Bank while the UPI app is a supported third-party PSP. UPI Circle delegation and Lite stored value are separate states; an eligible RuPay credit card is a separate card-funded merchant relationship. | AU 0101 UPI is an account-funded payment state attached to the eligible bank account. UPI Circle delegation, UPI Lite stored value and any RuPay-credit-card UPI funding are distinct relationships. |
These fields come from each product's type-specific structured research, so service comparisons are not reduced to the same six generic rows.

Table region. When the region itself has keyboard focus, use Left and Right arrows to scroll horizontally; Home and End move to the start or end.
| Decision factor | Federal Bank UPI — FedMobile & Supported UPI Apps | AU Small Finance Bank UPI — AU 0101 |
|---|---|---|
| App / channel | Federal Bank account UPI through FedMobile and supported third-party UPI apps; bank reporting also documents UPI Circle and UPI Lite Auto Top-up availability. | UPI through AU 0101 with QR/transfers plus UPI Lite, UPI Circle and mandate capabilities advertised by the bank. |
| Registration | Registration follows the supported UPI app/remitter-bank account and registered-mobile verification flow. Exact PSP screens can differ, so one app’s UX is not universalized. | Download AU 0101, verify the bank-registered mobile by SMS, select the eligible bank account, verify debit-card details, choose a UPI ID and set the mPIN/UPI credential. |
| Authentication | Ordinary UPI uses UPI PIN/security controls. Federal’s FY2024-25 reporting states UPI Lite supports transactions up to ₹1,000 without entering UPI PIN after enablement. | Ordinary UPI uses the UPI PIN/mPIN payment flow after registered-mobile/account verification. Lite/delegated states use their separately defined controls. |
| Standard limits | No single Federal-specific ordinary daily UPI number is published here from the reviewed current evidence. Use the live remitter-bank/app risk control and the applicable NPCI use-case ceiling. | After cooling, up to ₹1 lakh in a single outgoing UPI transaction and ₹1 lakh/day, with maximum 20 P2P transactions in 24 hours under the current AU UPI page. AU separately publishes incoming P2P limits up to ₹4 lakh/24 hours subject to count/value rules. |
| Security cooling | No universal Federal post-registration/device-change UPI cooling amount is asserted from the reviewed source set; users should follow the live app/bank restriction shown during registration or re-registration. | Android: first 24 hours after UPI registration limited to ₹5,000 or 20 transactions, whichever first. iOS: first 72 hours limited to ₹5,000 or 20 transactions per 24 hours, whichever first. |
| UPI Lite | Federal FY2024-25 reporting: UPI Lite small-value payments up to ₹1,000 without UPI PIN plus UPI Lite Auto Top-up; current RBI/NPCI maximum stored balance is ₹5,000. | AU lists UPI Lite as a current feature. The engine uses current RBI/NPCI system limits of ₹1,000 per eligible transaction and ₹5,000 maximum stored balance unless AU publishes a stricter live app limit. |
| RuPay credit-card UPI | Federal offers RuPay credit-card products that can participate in UPI where eligible; NPCI rules keep linked-credit-card UPI merchant-oriented and limited by the lowest card/issuer-risk/customer-set limit. | Eligible RuPay-credit-card UPI is kept separate from AU account-funded UPI and follows NPCI merchant-only/issuer-risk/card/customer limit controls rather than automatically inheriting the AU deposit-account daily cap. |
| AutoPay / mandates | UPI AutoPay follows the recurring e-mandate layer with pause/revoke/modify controls; no Federal-specific mandate ceiling is substituted for the NPCI/use-case rules without explicit bank evidence. | AU lists UPI Mandate and UPI Circle. Mandates are recurring/authorized payment instructions; UPI Circle is delegated access and is not treated as account ownership by the secondary user. |
| Failure / recovery | Because app and remitter bank can be different participants, disputes/re-registration should be followed through the relevant UPI app and Federal Bank support path; no unsupported single recovery route is invented. | Registered-mobile/device and account verification govern access; current bank support/live app controls should be used after device changes, failed registration or disputed transactions. |
A useful comparison shows what can make either option unsuitable instead of averaging those conditions into a score.
These tools help narrow or inspect the records. They do not replace bank eligibility, live pricing or account-specific controls.
One side's source depth or freshness never fills a gap in the other record.
