Whatsup is going to launch its payment service in india
Facebook-owned Whatsapp is gearing up to launch its payment interface in India, as the California-based tech-giant has reportedly met the data localisation requirements to launch its payment services in India. The Reserve Bank of India, in an affidavit filed in the Supreme Court last week said in its submission that National Payments Corporation of India has informed it of being satisfied by WhatsApp's data localisation compliances. Under these terms, WhatsApp will have to store the user data of Indian users within the country and nowhere else, and thus will qualify to go live on the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) platform.

WhatsApp's payment is now Live on trial basis for the selected users, and is likely to roll it out at selected locations first before putting it out Nationally across the country.
