The UPI ATM represents a significant milestone in the nation's ongoing quest for a cashless economy and financial empowerment for all.
At the Global Fintech Fest in Mumbai, a groundbreaking UPI ATM was unveiled, eliminating the need for physical ATM cards.
The UPI ATM was developed by the National Payments Corporation of India in collaboration with NCR Corporation.
A video shared by Union Minister Piyush Goyal demonstrated how to withdraw cash from the UPI ATM using a QR code and UPI PIN.
It functions like a regular ATM except you scan a QR code, and charges may apply beyond the allowed free usage limit.
Initially, the UPI ATM is supported on the BHIM UPI app but will soon be available on other apps like Google Pay, PhonePe, and Paytm.
The UPI ATM is generating significant enthusiasm among internet users who view it as a transformative advancement.
They anticipate that it will streamline the cash withdrawal process and enhance financial technology accessibility.
As many embrace UPI-based transactions and the convenience of cardless cash withdrawals, the future of fintech in India appears promising.
