The RBI has launched four digital payment initiatives at the Global Fintech Fest to enhance customer convenience. These include AI-based UPI HELP for payment assistance and dispute resolution, and IoT Payments for transactions from connected devices. Additionally, 'Banking Connect' offers interoperable net banking, and 'UPI Reserve Pay' allows users to manage credit limits for specific purposes.
RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra highlighted the crucial role of the account aggregator framework and the new unified lending interface (ULI) in expanding credit access for the under-served. These initiatives aim to enhance interoperability and leverage richer financial data, strengthening the credit delivery ecosystem and fostering financial inclusion.
