Slice, the fintech best known for its millennial-friendly credit cards, is taking a bold leap into physical banking — but with a twist. The company has launched its first UPI-powered bank branch and ATM in Gurugram, designed for a card-free, QR-first future.
What’s Different?
- UPI-Only Withdrawals & Deposits — No debit or credit card needed.
- QR Code Banking — Scan, tap, and transact instantly via your UPI app.
- Minimalist Branch Setup — Focused on quick transactions and self-service kiosks.
Why It Matters
With UPI already dominating daily payments in India, Slice is betting that the same QR-first habit can replace card swipes at ATMs and branches. This could be especially appealing for:
- Digital-first users who don’t carry cards.
- Those wanting to avoid card issuance delays or replacement hassles.
Where to Find It
The first setup is live in Gurugram. Slice says it will study adoption trends before expanding to other cities.
Slice is reimagining banking—for the mobile generation and beyond—making branches and ATMs feel like UPI. By blending digital ease with physical presence, they’re setting a new standard for inclusive, modern banking.
