NPCI issued a press release saying that WhatsApp has been approved by WhatsApp for the payment system. WhatsApp was only waiting for this approval because it had already tested it. Now soon the payment option will come on WhatsApp.

 

 

According to NPCI, WhatsApp can expand its UPI user base in a graded manner. For this, the maximum user base can be 20 million. At present, there is no statement related to this from WhatsApp.

 

 

After launching the payment service, WhatsApp wrote a blog to give information about it. In his blog, he said that this service is currently free but merchants will have to pay 3.99 percent processing fees to get money. With the help of this feature, users will be able to transfer money with the help of a 6-digit PIN or fingerprint scan. To use it, the user has to link his WhatsApp account with Visa or Mastercard's credit or debit card.
