We are happy to share that we have enabled banking services through Aadhaar by integrating Aadhaar enabled Payment System (AePS). You can now access basic banking services such as cash withdrawal, balance enquiry and obtain a mini statement through the business correspondent of any AePS enabled banking & financial institution in the country including 10,000 PPBL banking points.
What is AePS?
To understand in simple terms, AePS is an NPCI-led model that enables a customer to carry out basic banking transactions at a PoS (Micro-ATM) through the business correspondent of AePS enabled any bank using the Aadhaar number & biometric authentication. The only inputs required for a customer to do a transaction under AePS mode are Bank(IIN), Aadhaar number and fingerprint.
