Next revolution in banking happening in India
Reserve
Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan launched the Unified Payments Interface
(UPI) system on April 13, 2016 along with nandan nilekani former infosys and
UIDAI chairman.
The
interface has been developed by National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI),
the umbrella organization for all retail payments in the country. 29 banks had
concurred to provide UPI service to their customers.
The UPI
seeks to make money transfers easy, quick and hassle free for
millions of people in India.
What are the banking technologies become
obsolete:
1. Debit
card
2. Mobile
wallets (eg paytm)
3. IMPS
4.
Internet banking
How UPI works:
Instead of handing over
the cash, you tell your virtual identity to the cashier. The cashier generates
an invoice through UPI, you approve it using your mobile phone and the payment
is made.
What customer must have?
1. Smart phone.
2. UPI app.
3. Bank account.
4. Phone no or adhaar no.
Once you
register for UPI with your bank, a unique ‘virtual address’ will be created.
This is mapped with your mobile phone. So virtual address may me customer-name@bank-name
or
mobile-no@bank-name .Now you are ready to send and collect money.
Taxi hailing companies like Uber and Ola, food ordering services like Zomato and Tiny Owl and online grocery shops like Big Basket will be able to take advantage of the UPI system. Such tech-based companies are now banking on mobile wallets.
