In this article, you will learn how you can transfer money from your Amazon Pay Balance to your bank account in a fast, safe, and secure way.
As we know, Amazon provides a lot of cashback offers to its users in the form of Amazon Pay Balance. Also, when we receive Amazon Gift Cards, we can only redeem them in the form of Amazon Pay Balance.
Thus, a lot of us are often left with some amount of money in our Amazon Pay Wallet which we would like to transfer to our bank account. But, Amazon doesn’t provide a direct way to do that.
However, there is an indirect, 100% official and safe way of transferring the funds from your Amazon Pay Wallet to your bank account via UPI, which I’m going to discuss in this article.
