Sending money is simple, fast and secure. Simply open the chat window of your WhatsApp contact to whom you want to send money. Now upon selecting the ‘attach’ or ‘plus’ icon the payment option will appear. Add the amount to it and authenticate on behalf of UPI PIN.
Experts strongly belief WhatsApp Payments is a powerful feature with lots of potential to transform the digital payment landscape. Their strong user base of 200 million in India will give rise to a sudden increase in the volume of UPI transaction as well it will provide stiff competition Google Tez and Paytm. Full permission will be provided to WhatsApp only when they completely comply with all principles of interoperability on their app.
