According to TechinAsia, Indian Prime Minister Modi announced yesterday the launch of Bharat Interface for Money (BHIM). Interestingly, Bhim is also a powerful role name in Indian mythology.) Developed by National Payments Corporation of India, this app allows users to make interbank transfers via BHIM.


In April, India introduced the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), which is for Android-only use to simplify remittance between banks. Through UPI this unified interface, people can get a virtual payment address (Virtual Payments Address, VPA), such as your name @ upi, virtual address and backend encoding, bank account details associated. Indian people using VPA for inter-bank remittance, you can remove the account, IFSC code, digital payment beneficiary details and other complicated names.

Based on the UPI, a number of Indian banks have developed APPs to help users make quick transfers among many banks. However, the promotion of this electronic payment method is slow because these APP functions are overloaded and unfriendly to the user. Probably the government of India launched the bank’s APP really hate Iron and Steel, decided to roll up their sleeves to do it, so BHIM appeared.


BHIM’s function is simple to the extreme, that is, money transfer + payment, and save the user basic information and payee information. The Indian government hopes the APP will encourage more people to start experimenting with electronic accounts and cultivating their electronic revenue and expenditure habits.
