What made WhatsApp payment service possible in India; here’s what Mark Zuckerberg told Mukesh Ambani

WhatsApp has rolled out its payment services after joining hands with India’s leading banks such as SBI, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and Axis Bank. It is expected that the largest messaging app will bring the benefits of India’s digital economy and financial inclusion to a large number of users who were deprived of full access before. In a conversation with RIL Chairman Mukesh Ambani, Facebook co-founder, and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that WhatsApp payments was launched in India last month, which makes sending money to friends and family through WhatsApp, as easy as sending a message. That was possible because of the UPI system that has been built in India, he added.
