UPI is way more convenient than even cards and is meant to be way more pervasive. It is like giving and taking of cash between individuals, except that the money is directly transferred from / to individuals' bank accounts.

        They need solutions like Samsung pay, which is MST based instead of nfc. All cards work without updating to new payment machines.

            While, in a way, this is corruption of the core functionality of a messenger product, given Whatsapp's prevalence in india, it may mean that UPI will finally take off! This is an important step in making india cashless and move to digital payments

              Good move by WhatsApp...it will definitely change the whole thing for sure!
