Abhay Prasad Hota
MD & CEO NPCI, National Payments Corporation of India Architect of India's biggest disruption - UPI - Unified Payments Interface (TBC)
Unified Payments Interface (UPI), launched in April 2016 by the NPCI, is going live for 21 banks. A.P. Hota Ji spoke about UPI at Fintech Storm India Summit, Mumbai on 12 May 2016.
UPI offers instant, online bank payments, and is seen as a major change to the Indian financial sector. It enables banks to provide real-time payments through QR code enabled addresses and offers device fingerprinting for additional security.
Abhaya Prasad Hota, MD and CEO, NPCI, says: “Real-time sending and receiving money through a mobile application at such a scale on interoperable basis had not been attempted anywhere else in the world.”
For the last few months it has been on a pilot run mainly with employees and customers. After assessing the “success” of the pilot run, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) gave their final approval for the public launch.
NPCI decided that only banks with 1,000 pilot customers, 5,000 transactions and a success rate of around 80% would be permitted to go live. It says such a threshold criteria helped the banks to refine their systems and procedure.
