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.
