With more than a billion users active each day, WhatsApp is taking a step in another direction with a step to enable payments to flow in an easy way. The messaging App announced they will enable immediate bank-to-bank transfer with UPI.

Unified Payments Interface (UPI) is reportedly a payments system run by the Reserve Bank of India, where the service is likely to start operating there sooner enough.

WhatsApp has become a day-to-day messaging app which cannot be ignored.
