How to use WhatsApp Pay in India
WhatsApp, the world’s most popular messaging app earlier today rolled out its payments service for nearly 400 million Indian users. The new service is called WhatsApp Pay, and it lets users make easy peer to peer payments right from within their chat screens. The arrival of WhatsPay is seen as a major threat by incumbents Paytm, PhonePe, Amazon Pay and Google Pay, all of which are fairly well-established in the country. Like its competition, WhatsApp uses the Government of India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI) backbone for instant peer to peer money transfers.
