WhatsApp is working on the payments service from the past couple of years and it is dubbed as WhatsApp Pay and the company is also offering the service in the beta version since February 2018. Well, now it seems that the company is finally ready to launch the service officially in India.
According to a report, WhatsApp will launch its payments service in India by the end of this month, and the WhatsApp Pay will debut with the three banks on the board which are Axis Bank, HDFC Bank, and ICICI Bank. Having said that, the payment service will be powered by ICICI Bank for the UPI payments.
