As per a report by the World Bank, roughly one-third of adults remain unbanked.
The transformative impact of digital payments in the last few years cannot be overstated. The rise of fintech firms, supported by digital payments infrastructure, has played a crucial role in bridging the gap by offering financial services in rural areas.
In India, through solutions such as Aadhaar-Enabled Payment Systems, we are on the path to empowering unbanked/underserved communities. Just this March, as per the NPCI, AePS reached a staggering 541.74 Mn transactions.
Today, let’s explore how AePS is bringing about financial inclusion and convenience in the country, one payment at a time.
The AePS Revolution
AePS is an inclusive platform that’s transforming banking by granting individuals effortless access to their bank accounts via Aadhaar authentication. This innovation is changing India’s financial landscape by benefitting the rural and underserved regions.
As a bank-driven initiative, AePS enables financial transactions at Point-of-Sale terminals (Micro ATMs) through approved Business Correspondents (BCs). To access AePS, individuals only need to furnish their bank details and Aadhaar number and undergo biometric authentication by the BC. AePS provides various digital financial services, such as fund transfers, BHIM Aadhaar Pay, balance inquiries, and cash withdrawals and deposits, thereby bridging the urban-rural banking divide.
