BANGALORE: Uber<\/a> and Amazon<\/a> will be the latest global players to adopt the unified payment interface<\/a> (UPI<\/a>), with the global cab-booking company expected to go live this month through integration with the BHIM app<\/a>, according to the National Payment Corporation of India.\n
NPCI is also set to launch multi-bank UPI partnerships for global players such as Google<\/a> and WhatsApp<\/a> soon.
\n
Uber will launch UPI in a few weeks wherein it will offer UPI through BHIM, says NPCI CEO AP Hota. “Since about 60 per cent of these cabs drivers still get paid in cash by customers, UPI payments will help Uber’s drivers make their payments to Uber using UPI,” Hota told ET on the sidelines of a conference in Bengaluru. Uber’s main rival in the Indian market, Ola<\/a> had integrated UPI in April this year.
\n
\nAmazon is also discussing the launch of UPI with a few banks. Hota said the global e-commerce company will not be developing its own app, but will use a pay button for UPI on its portal. The testing process is still going on, he said.
\n
\nGoogle is also set to launch UPI payments in the next two to three months, with the testing for the integration almost completed. The NPCI has written to the RBI last week for approval, Hota said. “RBI will look at security aspects before giving approval. We expect Google to launch UPI within the next 2-3 months,” he added.
\n
\n“Google is developing a separate India-focussed app, which it will name differently, in integration with a bank,” Hota said. ET had reported in May that Google was testing UPI on its platform.
\n
\nAn Uber spokesperson said the company was \"currently evaluating the possibilities around a comprehensive UPI integration and continuing to engage with the relevant stakeholders. \"As a first step, we will look at offering our riders the option to use their existing UPI IDs to pay for their Uber rides,\" the company said.
\n
\nGoogle said the company was \"looking for ways to make it easy for people to pay with their mobile devices, such as Android Pay\".
\n
\nAmazon did not respond to specific queries sent by ET till the time of publication of this report.
\n
\nHota said NPCI will introduce multi-bank utility for UPI for the first time with the entry of these global giants. So far, private players have been partnering with single banks to offer UPI payments.
\n
\n“There are big players and such large volumes going through one bank will not be good. Multi-bank will drive competition between banks as well,” Hota said.
\n
WhatsApp and Facebook<\/a> are also looking to launch with UPI in India but they are still in the discussion phase, Hota said. Adoption of UPI by these global companies, which have a wide customer base in India, will help boost UPI acceptance, Hota said.
\n
\nUPI's monthly transactions crossed the 1-crore mark in June, as more banks and private companies are starting to adopt the payment system.
\n
\nStripe eyes blockchain in India for international remittances<\/strong>
\nGlobal payments company Stripe is in discussions with a couple of banks to launch international remittances in India using blockchain technology. NPCI head AP Hota said Stripe is currently discussing blockchain with Axis Bank and ICICI Bank to offer international remittances. The company is also said to be looking at UPI to enter the digital payments space in India, ET had reported last month.
