However it has been observed that most merchants in our country are not very eager to adopt mobile payment as a mode of transaction. There can be several reasons behind it. Overall reluctance in using mobile as a payment mode . Lack of volume of transactions . No right kind of push for smaller merchants . Low market acceptance . Change in attitude of the merchant – reluctance to keep a record . Cash as a competitor . Issue with MDR (Merchant Discount Rate) . Mindset of customers . Payment gateways in India a problem . Lack of initiatives from banks Challenges Drivers Challenges MPayment provides instant and real time Non availability of cheaper smartphones for cost service sensitive market like India. Long adoption time for customers – Indian Convenience and ease of use drives customer still used to getting a receipt for usage payments, habits need time to change. Extremely robust and thorough system in Unclear and not well defined roles for non place banking players. Increased speed of connectivity via 3G No clear value proposition for merchants.

  • Everything on BHIM App for UPI-Based Payments
    Everything on BHIM app for UPI-based payments BHIM UPI app - From linking bank accounts to sending payments. BHIM is based on UPI, which is the Universal Payments Interface and thus linked directly to a bank account. The new digital payments app calledBHIM is based on the Unified Payments Interface (UPI). The app is currently available only on Android; so iOS, Windows mobile users etc are left out. BHIM is also supposed to support Aadhaar-based payments, where transactions will bepossible just with a fingerprint impression, but that facility is yet to roll out. What can BHIM app do? BHIM is a digital payments solution app based on Unified Payments Interface (UPI) from the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). If you have signed up for UPI based payments on your respective bank account, which is also linked to your mobile number, then you’ll be able to use the BHIM app to conduct digital transactions. BHIM app will let you send and receive money to other non-UPI accounts or addresses. You can also send money via IFSC and MMID code to users, who don’t have a UPI-based bank account. Additionally, there’s the option of scanning a QR code and making a direct payment. Users can create their own QR code for a certain fixed amount of money, and then the merchant can scan it and the deduction will be made. BHIM app is like another mobile wallet? No, BHIM app is not a mobile wallet. In case of mobile wallets like Paytm or MobiKwik you store a limited amount of money on the app, that can only be sent to someone who is using the same wallet.

  • Mobikwik-Annual-Report-2020-V9.Pdf
    Prologue Once upon a time, a young woman visited India for vacation. Whilst enjoying her trip, one day she got very frustrated spending hours booking a train ticket. She got back to work, but the frustration stayed with her. It got her thinking deep. She quit her job and moved to her homeland to Build for India. In August 2009, www.mobikwik.com went live. And the rest, as they say, is history. Today we are 325 passionate Indians who serve 120 million users and 3 million retailers in India. Our vision is to build accessible, and affordable digital financial services for a Billion Indians. (Our vision has not changed since 2009; and we are proud of it.) We operate businesses in consumer payments, payment gateway, and financial services. Founded in 2009 by Bipin Preet Singh and Upasana Taku, we have raised over $100M in funding from marquee investors such as Sequoia Capital, Bajaj Finance, American Express and Net1. With 60%+ Indian ownership, MobiKwik is the Truly Indian Payments App. It is the only independent consumer payments player in India today which is neither owned nor remote controlled by a foreign company. It’s a mean feat just to compete with players whose collective market capitalization exceeds India’s GDP (GOOG, BABA {through Paytm} and WMT {through PhonePe}). I am thrilled that in FY2020, MobiKwik delivered its third successive year of greater than 100% revenue growth amid stiff competition from these players. Being independent, has clearly not deterred us. In 1931, James Adams coined the term - American Dream as "that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement".
