Digital Payments Through Whatsapp

New Delhi: Popular messaging app Whatsapp is now going to launch a version to enable users to make digital payments. Union IT Minister Ravishankar Prasad had a meeting with the Facebook-owned Whatsapp co-founder Brain Acton on Friday on the issue. As part of the efforts aimed at promoting the Digital India Campaign, the Union IT Minister asked the Whats App for greater usage of local languages.

“We will continue to invest so we can help more people across India, and we hope to contribute more to India’s vision for digital commerce in the future,” Acton added.

At present, Whatsapp has over 200 million users in India alone.
