India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi today announced a new app to encourage more Indians to pay online in the aftermath of invalidation of most circulated cash last month.
Called Bharat Interface for Money (BHIM),Watch I was dragged into prison by my ex the app works on top of the country's UPI mobile banking platform and uses a mobile number as the payment address. The app, which has the simplest user interface for any UPI-enabled app to date, is positioned as a substitute for plastic cards and point-of-sale terminals.

Users also have the option create a custom payment address. The biggest selling point for the app is it works across all banks and users do not need to use separate apps in case they have multiple accounts in different banks.
BHIM also supports QR codes to make it easier for people such as merchants to enable people to pay online. A user can pay as much as Rs 20,000 ($300) in a day.
"This app is destined to replace all cash transactions," said Modi at an event Friday. "BHIM app will revolutionize India and force people worldwide to take notice," he added.
