Manesh Mahatme, Director – Payments, WhatsApp India, said, “WhatsApp is often the first digital gateway for Indians, especially those in rural and semi-urban areas and through payments on WhatsApp our goal is to expand financial inclusion to those who need it the most. Offering safe, secure and easy-to-use digital payments is an important part of scaling India’s digital economy, and we’ll continue to drive awareness of payments on WhatsApp as part of our broader efforts to bring the next 500 million Indians onto the digital payments ecosystem.”  

Today, UPI (Unified Payments Interface) has become the undisputed payments champion among other payment modes in India. UPI crossed the $1-trillion mark in transaction values for FY 2021-22 after the payments system crossed 5 billion transactions in a month for the first time in March’22. Within five years of the launch of UPI, today, over 50 percent of retail payments in India are routed through UPI, thanks to the new habit of accessing instant UPI payments set in by the pandemic, the rising adoption of smartphones, and due initiatives from the Government. This significant UPI adoption indicates a strong ever-growing need for a hassle-free payment process for end-users. The RazorpayX – Payments on WhatsApp partnership aims to provide that seamless and reliable cashback experience to end-users.
