payments. All the transactions in digital payments are completed online. It is an 
instant and convenient way to make payments. 
New digital payment platforms such as UPI and IMPS are becoming increasingly 
popular. Using these new platforms, banks have been scaling rapidly. Every Bank 
is impacted by new digital disruptions, so new banking services and ways should 
be adapted to use various digital channels to interact and provide services to 
customers. To reach out to customers at their convenience, banks are aggressively 
going digital. For millennials, banking is all about convenience – a seamless user 
interface akin to that of games or app. They value transparency and minimal 
processes. Convenience can be delivered through mobile apps and digital 
banking, the latter is provided by relationship managers, who need to be 
proficient in products and process knowledge. A high level of adaptability is a 
must for banking sector in this highly digital and tech-savvy age, where banking 
transactions can happen even on a mobile or tablet with a few clicks.

(i)  UPI Apps: Unified Payment Interface (UPI) and retail payment banks are 
changing the very face of banking in terms of moving most of banking to 
digital platforms using mobiles and apps. UPI is a system that powers 
multiple bank accounts (of participating banks), several banking services 
features like fund transfer, and merchant payments in a single mobile 
application. UPI or Unified Payment Interface is a payment mode which is

the receiver’s bank account through the mobile app. User can transfer 
funds between two accounts using UPI apps. User must register for 
mobile banking to use UPI apps. Since it is completely digital, UPI can be 
used 24 hours and even on public holidays. Users need to download a 
UPI app and create a VPA or UPI ID. There are too many good UPI apps 
available such as BHIM, SBI UPI app, HDFC UPI app, iMobile, PhonePe 
app etc. as shown in the Fig. 4.7.1.

(ii) Immediate Payment Service (IMPS): It is an instant interbank 
electronic fund transfer service through mobile phones. IMPS is an 
empathetic tool to transfer money instantly within banks across 
India through Mobile, Internet Banking and ATM, which is not only 
safe but economical also.  
(iii) Mobile Apps: BHIM (Bharat Interface for Money) is a Mobile App 
developed by National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) based on UPI 
(Unified Payment Interface). It facilitates e-payments directly through 
banks and supports all Indian banks which use that platform. It is built on 
the Immediate Payment Service infrastructure and allows the user to 
instantly transfer money between the bank accounts of any two parties. It 
is also possible to link multiple bank accounts.  BHIM works on all mobile 
devices and enables users to send or receive money to other UPI payment 
addresses by scanning QR code or using account number with Indian 
Financial Systems Code (IFSC) code or MMID (Mobile Money Identifier) 
Code for users who do not have a UPI-based bank account. 
(iv) Mobile Wallets: A mobile wallet or e-wallet is nothing but a digital 
version of a physical or real-life wallet, in which one can add money to 
purchase various goods and services (both online and offline) and 
transfer money with this technology. A mobile wallet is a type of 
virtual wallet service that can be used by downloading an app on 
smartphone and registering for the service. It is the digital version of 
physical wallet with more functionality. User can keep his/her money 
in an E-wallet and use it when needed. The digital or mobile wallet 
stores bank account or debit/credit card information or bank account 
information in an encoded format to allow secure payments. Mobile 
Wallets provide a convenient way for a user to make-in-store 
payments and can be used that with merchants listed with the mobile 
wallet service providers. This eliminates the need to use credit/debit 
cards or remember the CVV or 4-digit pin. Mobile wallets are 
frequently used to make payments at physical shops/stores, recharge 
phone, online purchases, transfer money, and receive offers, cash 
backs, and rewards.    
These E-Wallets also give additional cashback offers. There are mobile 
wallets like Paytm, Freecharge, Buddy, Mobikwik, State bank buddy 
etc. as shown in the Fig. 4.7.2.

digital currency produced by a public network, rather than any 
government, that uses cryptography to ensure that payments are sent 
and received safely. A cryptocurrency is a medium of exchange 
wherein records of individual coin ownership are stored in a 
computerized database using strong cryptography.  
Cryptocurrency is called so because all the data is ensured with strong 
cryptography. The strong cryptography makes it almost impossible to 
counterfeit or double spend. The other digital currencies such as 
DigiCash utilizes a Trusted Third Party approach in which a third party 
verifies and facilitates the transactions. Cryptocurrency is completely 
decentralized, which means that there are no servers involved and no 
central controlling authority. 
Cryptocurrency is a digital money which does not involve any 
physical coin. Since it is all online, the user can transfer 
cryptocurrency to someone online without going to the bank. It 
can be used for making quick payments without any transaction 
fees.  Cryptocurrency is stored in a digital wallet either on the 
computer or on other hardware. The first cryptocurrency was 
Bitcoin which was launched in 2009. The other cryptocurrencies 
prevailing in the world today include Litecoin, Peercoin, Namecoin, 
as well as Ethereum.

3. How does m-commerce impact traditional retail businesses?
Ans. M-commerce has a significant impact on traditional retail businesses. Here are some ways it affects them: 1. Increased reach: M-commerce allows traditional retailers to reach a wider audience as more and more people are using mobile devices for shopping. 2. Personalization: Through m-commerce apps, retailers can collect data about customers' preferences and behavior, allowing them to personalize offers, recommendations, and advertisements. 3. Convenience: M-commerce provides convenience to customers as they can shop anytime and anywhere using their mobile devices, eliminating the need to visit physical stores. 4. Competitive advantage: Traditional retailers who adopt m-commerce early gain a competitive advantage over those who do not, as they can offer additional services like mobile payments and loyalty programs. 5.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption: This ensures that the data transmitted between the customer's device and the website or app is encrypted, making it difficult for hackers to intercept and access sensitive information. 2. Two-factor authentication (2FA): Implementing 2FA adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide two forms of identification, such as a password and a unique code sent to their mobile device. 3. Regular security audits: Conducting regular security audits can help identify vulnerabilities in the system and address them promptly to prevent any potential breaches. 4. Secure payment gateways: Using trusted and secure payment gateways that comply with industry standards for data security can protect customers' payment information. 5.

Improved convenience: Technologies like voice commerce and mobile apps make the shopping process more convenient and seamless, allowing customers to make purchases effortlessly using their preferred method. 3. Interactive and immersive experiences: Technologies like augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) enable customers to visualize and experience products virtually, enhancing their decision-making process and providing an interactive and immersive shopping experience. 4. Faster and more efficient transactions: Emerging technologies can streamline the checkout process, making it faster and more efficient.
