Unified Payment Interface (UPI)- Transforming the digital payment ecosystem

Looking about 10 years back, who could have thought that there will be a payment method that will make the whole payment experience simple and effective? We now know…its UPI!, The advent of UPI as otherwise called Unified Payment Interface has created a major evolution of the digital payment ecosystem.

So, what is UPI and how did it create this major revolution in the Indian digital payment ecosystem?

UPI is a system where it powers multiple bank accounts into a single mobile application that comprises any participating bank (integrating various banking features), smooth fund routing, and merchant payments into one single platform. Additionally, it also facilitates the “Peer to Peer” collection request which can be modified, scheduled, and paid as per their requirement and convenience.

History of UPI- Where did it all start?

The National Payment Corporation of India was formed in April 2009 to create a unified payment platform.

By March 2011, RBI found that only six non-cash transactions happened in India every year per individual citizen while 1 crore retailers accepted card-based payments. Almost 145 million families couldn’t have access to any form of banking. Amidst this scenario, there was a huge possibility of black money and corruption since transactions were taking place in the form of cash. To build a robust and secure payment platform, NPCI became the primary body under the guidance of RBI in launching the platform on 11th April 2016 by Dr. Raghuram Rajan, former RBI governor in Mumbai. This is the point where the epic journey of UPI started to begin.

With the success of UPI, India began to witness exponential growth in digital payments. Moreover, the transactions found a huge growth as the value touched Rs. 80 Trillion transactions in the financial year 2022.
