WhatsApp Payments now live
WhatsApp Payments is now available to around 20 million users in the country. The payments feature is being supported by State Bank of India, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Axis Bank. The WhatsApp Payments feature designed on National Payments Corporation of India's (NPCI) Unified Payment Interface (UPI) system was granted approval to go live in November 2020 on a peer-to-peer basis. This means that users will be able to transfer money in a manner similar to sending messages.
