Latest underlying reviewSeptember 10, 2026
State Bank of IndiaSBI Merchant Payments — SBI Payments & YONO SBI Merchant

SBI-linked merchants that want QR/UPI, contactless card acceptance and merchant reporting through the SBI Payments stack, with separate POS or AudioBox options where commercially onboarded.

Cost / pricing
SBI Payments positions YONO SBI Merchant as a low-cost acceptance route, while POS/AudioBox/device pricing and MDR remain governed by the merchant product and agreement. AudioBox material states that installation fees and monthly rental may apply, so no universal free-device or zero-MDR promise is inferred.

Decision checkpoints

Answer the questions that can actually change the choice.

Each checkpoint reproduces the recorded product fields instead of assigning a winner. Read the condition, scope and missing-data state before treating a difference as useful to you.

01Can the business onboard for the acceptance methods it needs?Check onboarding and acceptance rails before comparing pricing.

SBI Merchant Payments — SBI Payments & YONO SBI Merchant

Onboarding
Merchant acquiring requires SBI Payments application/onboarding and verification for the selected product; current-account or YONO Business access is not substituted for merchant approval.
Acceptance rails
YONO SBI Merchant supports UPI/QR, contactless card Tap to Pay, YONO Sale and YONO Cash; SBI Payments separately offers physical POS and AudioBox acceptance products.

Canara Bank Merchant Payments — Merchant 360 & BHIM QR

Onboarding

Acceptance rails
The core profile covers BHIM QR/VPA UPI collection. Canara separately offers POS, Soundbox, Payment Gateway and other collection products with their own eligibility/commercial treatment.
02How do settlement and merchant charges work?Keep settlement timing, MDR, rental and pricing scope together.

SBI Merchant Payments — SBI Payments & YONO SBI Merchant

Settlement
YONO SBI Merchant provides auto-settlement and settlement reports. An exact universal settlement clock is left unfilled where the current primary page does not publish one.
MDR / rental
YONO SBI Merchant is positioned as low-cost; SBI Payments AudioBox states one-time installation fee and monthly rental may apply. MDR/device economics remain merchant/product/agreement specific.

Canara Bank Merchant Payments — Merchant 360 & BHIM QR

Settlement
BHIM QR credits are explicitly instantaneous/real time to the linked account. No universal POS/gateway settlement timing is inferred from that UPI-specific rule.
MDR / rental
Merchant 360 terms permit the bank to levy/revise charges. Canara Privilege/TruEdge can publish tier-specific POS/Soundbox/MDR benefits; standard merchant pricing remains separate.
03Can the business handle refunds and reconciliation?Check the documented chargeback and reporting workflow.

SBI Merchant Payments — SBI Payments & YONO SBI Merchant

Refunds / chargebacks
Card/POS chargeback and reversal obligations follow the applicable merchant-acquiring agreement and payment-system rules; no single UPI/card refund SLA is generalized.
Reconciliation
Merchants can view transactions and settlement reports in the app; auto-settlement is presented as simplifying accounting.

Canara Bank Merchant Payments — Merchant 360 & BHIM QR

Refunds / chargebacks
Merchant 360 dispute resolution follows NPCI/RBI guidelines; terms warn real-time settlement makes restoration of a wrong-beneficiary payment difficult, though the bank may assist.
Reconciliation

Standard POS/Soundbox/MDR charges remain current-product dependent; separately published Privilege/TruEdge account waivers or MDR concessions are retained only for qualifying account tiers.
Settlement / account relationshipMerchant settlement uses the relationship configured during SBI Payments onboarding; an SBI current account or YONO Business login alone is not proof that every SBI Payments merchant product is enabled.Merchant 360 is available to onboarded BHIM QR customers with a satisfactorily running Canara Savings, Current, OD or OCC account; the reviewed terms exclude NRIs.
Acceptance / collection capabilitiesYONO SBI Merchant can turn an eligible NFC Android phone into a payment terminal, accept UPI/Bharat QR and contactless cards, support YONO Sale/YONO Cash, manage sub-users, show transactions and settlement reports, and use auto-settlement; SBI Payments separately offers physical POS and AudioBox products.BHIM QR/VPA collections credited instantaneously in real time to the linked account, Merchant 360 app access, downloadable account statements, sub-merchant addition and separately available Canara POS/Soundbox/Payment Gateway/Easy Fee merchant solutions.

Merchant onboarding eligibilitySubject to SBI Payments merchant application/onboarding, verification/approval, KYC/business checks and the eligibility of the requested acceptance product.Onboarded BHIM QR customers with an eligible satisfactorily running Savings/Current/OD/OCC account; the reviewed Merchant 360 terms state that the facility is not offered to NRIs.

POS, Soundbox, Payment Gateway and account-package concessions require their own product/account eligibility and are not automatically bundled.

Wrong-fit risks

Keep each product’s cautions beside the product.

A useful comparison shows what can make either option unsuitable instead of averaging those conditions into a score.

State Bank of India

SBI Merchant Payments — SBI Payments & YONO SBI Merchant

  • SBI Payments merchant acceptance is separately onboarded; an SBI current account or YONO Business registration does not automatically include POS, AudioBox or every merchant feature.
  • Device rental, installation charges, MDR and other commercial terms can differ by merchant product and agreement; promotional low-cost wording is not converted into a universal zero-fee claim.
  • Auto-settlement is recorded as a supported feature, but no universal T+0/T+1 clock is inferred where the current primary page does not state one.
Canara Bank

Canara Bank Merchant Payments — Merchant 360 & BHIM QR

  • Real-time BHIM QR account credit is specific to Merchant 360 QR transactions and is not generalized as the settlement timing for Canara POS or payment gateway.
  • Canara Privilege and TruEdge publish free POS/Soundbox or MDR concessions at qualifying balance/tier levels; these are account-specific benefits, not universal merchant pricing.
  • Merchant 360 terms say real-time settlement can make recovery of an erroneous payment difficult; dispute handling remains governed by NPCI/RBI and bank processes.
