Expanding accessibility

While this UPI ATM will function as a standard ATM, it may incur charges beyond the permitted free usage limit. Initially available on the BHIM UPI app, it will soon extend its accessibility to other popular apps like Google Pay, PhonePe, and Paytm.

Phased rollout, user reactions

While this technology is currently undergoing phased implementation, its potential impact has already captured the public’s imagination. Users have expressed their enthusiasm for this innovation, highlighting its potential benefits, particularly for those who understand UPI but not debit cards, making cash withdrawals more accessible.

UPI’s astounding milestone

Notably, UPI recently achieved a remarkable milestone by surpassing 10 billion transactions in a single month, reaching a historic peak of 10.58 billion transactions in August. Officials from the National Payments Corporation of India envision the country’s potential to achieve an astounding 100 billion Unified Payments Interface (UPI) transactions per month, highlighting the growing significance of digital payments in India’s financial landscape.
