Despite the reasonably large base, payments through UPI have been growing over 100% YoY. UPI now accounts for over 10% of digital payments. In contrast, Credit and Debit cards, the two pure consumpon driven payment modes have seen payment throughput decline in the last two months. Payment wallets have also been seeing declining payment throughput in recent months (although Jan-21 saw a growth). This would suggest, prima facie, that UPI is gaining at the expense of other modes of payments Google Pay and PhonePe connue to dominate the UPI app ecosystem. The two account for ~85% of all payments UPI. PayTM comes in a distant third with single digit share. All other apps, including those from individual banks account for less than 10% of payments. That said, there has been a change in pecking order: Google pay has lots market share from ~45% to ~40% while PhonePe has seen a commensurate increase. PayTM has also seen a slight increase in market share. Both Credit and Debit card base has grown in high single digits over the past year. That said there are significant bank level differences. For example IndusInd and ICICI Bank have seen over 15% growth in credit card base over the past year while MNC issuers like Ci or Amex have seen a decline.

Amongst the MNC issuers Amex and Ci have the best franchises. Ci for example has the same number of cards as Kotak but sees 2x the payment througput as that of Kotak. The total number of ATMs in the country has almost tagnated at just over 2.3 million with some banks even culling some of their ATMs. That said micro ATMs are growing at a very rapid pace.

But NEFT is an old Payment mode and being used largely for bigger cket retail payments. It is the rise of UPI, from zero 5 years ago to 12% currently, that is most stunning.
