Urgent need for cash is a common requirement in times of emergency. Banks and ATMs have locational constraints which make it inconvenient for account holders to withdraw money at times of need. Aadhaar Enabled Payment System (AEPS) is a system offered by NetPaisa allows people to carry out financial transactions by furnishing just their Aadhaar number and verifying it with the help of their fingerprints/iris scan without visiting a bank or ATM.
People do not have to mention their bank account details to carry out these transactions. With the help of this payment system, people can send funds from one bank account to another simply through their Aadhaar numbers. As the system works on a centralized server, people can send money from their account to any account irrespective of the bank in which the receiver’s account is operated.
There are a number of benefits of AEPS, Some of which are mentioned below:
- Banking, as well as non-banking transactions, can be performed
- People do not have to furnish their debit/credit card for making transactions through AEPS.
- The fingerprint is needed for transaction authentication which makes it safer.
- AEPS Devices can be taken to distant places enabling people in remote villages to make transactions instantly.
