The COVID-19 pandemic continues to create a paradigm shift in the payment ecosystem in India. While the focus at the business end has been to protect existing revenue streams and creating an end-to-end digitized customer experience, the customers are also responding positively towards digital payments in India. We all know that digital payments are safer, more convenient, and offer customers the flexibility to make payments anywhere and anytime. For merchants, they reduce the transaction time at the point of sale and offer them the ease to accept all types of payments. A win-win for all, especially in today's time when contactless payments are the need of the hour. One of our internal surveys conducted post the national lockdown in 2020 also revealed that contactless payment adoption is a top priority for merchants across diverse categories in Retail.
There is no doubt that the Digital India initiative of the incumbent government accelerated the journey towards a cashless economy. Today, some of the popular modes of digital payments in India are UPI, internet banking, payment apps, mobile banking, mobile wallets, debit and credit cards.
A recent report by ACI Worldwide suggests that digital payments in India are set to make 71.7 per cent of the total payment volume by 20251. While the pandemic has accelerated the adoption of digital payments especially among first-time users and merchants, the Government of India's Digital India campaign and RBI's move of enhancing the limit for contactless card payments to up to Rs. 5,000 has also contributed to the massive uptick.
Digital payments are much safer and easier to accept. You reduce the transaction time at the checkout counter and risk of handling cash significantly. Moreover, you offer your customers the flexibility of paying with their preferred option. The customers don't have to look for ATMs to carry cash, and they can enjoy a faster payment experience at your store. Digital payments are regulated by stringent security requirement and, thus, are a safer option to transact.
Apart from being convenient, one of the significant benefits of having a digital payment gateway at your store is That the digital record helps you and your customers to keep track of transactions.
