Bharat Interface for Money (BHIM), an app built on Unified Payment Interface (UPI) for making simple, easy and quick payment transactions, is now available on Apple app store.
With the launch on iOS platform, the BHIM App will now cater to almost 100 per cent smartphone users in the country, said A P Hota, Managing Director and CEO, National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), an umbrella organisation for retail payment systems in India.
This will ensure wider acceptance for digital transactions among consumers across all sections, he said. “Though market share for iPhones is not very large in India, users of iPhone are high transacting customers. Therefore, it is a development of special significance as it will help to boost transaction volumes,” Hota said.
The BHIM App on iOS platform is equipped with updated features available on BHIM's Android version 1.2. The languages offered currently are English and Hindi.
