NPCI Removes User Cap on WhatsApp Pay, Allowing Full UPI Access

Credited from: INDIATIMES

  • The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has lifted the previous user limit on WhatsApp Pay, allowing access to its entire base of over 500 million users.
  • This change removes the previous 100 million-user cap that was gradually increased since the service's launch in 2020.
  • The move aims to enhance WhatsApp Pay's competitive position in the UPI market, where it has lagged behind platforms like Google Pay and PhonePe.
  • As of November 2023, WhatsApp Pay processed approximately 22 million transactions, a fraction compared to 12 billion by its competitors.
  • The NPCI also postponed the enforcement of transaction volume caps for digital payment firms by two years, now set for December 2026.
