With more and more Indians getting connected to the internet thanks to lowered data prices and cheaper smartphones, the online payment sector has been booming in the country for the past few years. 

Several telecom providers, including Airtel, have opened fully digital banks that give users access to their account, UPI ID and even debit cards. With the Airtel Payments Bank, you can deposit up to INR 1 lac, have your UPI ID and virtual debit card for online transactions as well as the ability to withdraw cash from any Airtel Payment Bank Center. 

In this article, we’re going to take a look at how to delete your Airtel Payment Bank account and close your account in the process.
