WhatsApp signals payments service to be rolled out in India
WhatsApp users in India could be the first to make instant payments with the messaging app. A beta version of WhatsApp Payments was uncovered by WABetaInfo and if confirmed, could mean that up to 200 million users in the country would have access to the service. WhatsApp has said it's testing bank-to-bank transfers "with UPI", the Reserve Bank of India's Unified Payments Interface. It is not clear when WhatsApp Payments would be rolled out in other countries.
