UPI to get features like tap & pay, chatbot pay

Mumbai: The RBI has allowed card-like features in UPI such as ‘tap to pay’ and hiked limits for offline payments without PIN. Banks can also enable UPI for ‘conversational payments’ where customers can attach a payment while chatting with a bot.

RBI governor Shaktikanta Das said that UPI’s integration in the UAE will be completed in a few months, while it is in use in Singapore. “Discussions are underway with a few other countries for linkage of payment systems, including some advanced economies that have shown a keen interest in connecting to UPI,” said Das.
