WhatsApp launches bill payments in India
WhatsApp started rolling out a bill payments service in India on Thursday, allowing users to settle household and utility bills inside the messaging app.
The service is built on Bharat Connect, the network earlier called the Bharat Bill Payment System, and links users to 22,722 billers across 30 categories. These include electricity, gas, water, FASTag, insurance, credit card dues and loan repayments. Bills can be paid through UPI, or by debit or credit card.
