Adarsh Credit Cooperative Society welcomes RBI's move to open up UPI

New Delhi [India], Mar 20 : Digital wallets are set to be inter operable as Reserve Bank of India (RBI) prepares to open up the Unified Payments Interface platform as a part of government's digitization program. RBI is expected to issue guidelines shortly on interoperability and 'Know Your Customer' (KYC) norms for digital wallet companies.

Interoperability will allow direct money transfers to other digital wallet providers without having to go through a traditional bank.

As soon as RBI clears the norms and prescribes guidelines for it, it will become easier to transfer and pay money from one wallet to another wallet.

Adarsh Money, which already has a tie up with Oxigen Wallet can also be used to send money directly to a merchant with other digital wallets such as Paytm and MobiKwik, expanding the usability of Adarsh Money. This is a bold and encouraging step taken by RBI which will encourage more digital transaction among its users. Adarsh Money which already has a tie up with Oxigen digital wallet and is powered by strong technology and innovation which will bring more people to the digital system and help promotion of digitalization in India and is indeed a right step towards cashless economy.

"Traditionally banks have very less visibility in rural areas. Adarsh Credit Cooperative Society has played an important role in connecting rural masses with financial services with the help of its mobile money application popularly known as "Adarsh Money". Adarsh Money helps in digitalizing cash transactions in rural India. By Adarsh Money Application, we are providing doorstep facility in providing financial services so that people in rural areas do not have to go to a bank which is in far-flung area in cities.
