BS FAKE NEWS 🤣
so they want to sell their fake news all over and expose themselves?
genius……
🤦🤦🤦🤦
so basically becoming like CHYNA
the guy at 0:48
😂
Problem is that someone can put another qr code sticker over the original without it being noticed for some time.
@zxasdf x WHY SO CHILDISH ? You can confirm 3 times before pressing the SEND PAYMENT button…LOL
Basically the problem is that you never used it once try it then your all doubts will be cleared.
@Buddha’s Disciple WHY SO CHILDISH? When funds have already been sent after confirming 3 times, the speakers are useless!!!
@zxasdf x the app shows name of the person you’re sending money to, even after all this it gets send to the wrong person, one can ask their bank to reverse it.
@Iamnotanoob I know that. But scammers and hackers exploit the fact that people are not vigilant all the time.
UPI is like if zelle and Venmo could interoperate and support all banks. That’s a simplification and UPI is much more than that. It has truly made payments so much easier and hassle free. Anyone can pay anyone or accept payments and all you need is a phone number. You arenjot tied to any particular platform. The transactions are very fast and have no fees. I even bought IPO shares via UPI. It has made life so much easier.
Yes but in your sentence “could interoperate ” has a DEEP meaning.
FED NOW is coming in USA
China uses them everywhere. We should be using them more often in North America, but North America is old and behind the times when it comes to tech.
@Hayashi China started this 20 years ago, problem is, it is in the same level of technology 20 years – way inferior & backward compared to India’s far superior advanced UPI.
@Sodium Syndicate Are you kidding me?
@Abhinandan Kumar Gupta fake news
@刘恺 Oh please, China does not have a single one click universal bank to bank instant & cost free payment system like India’s UPI. Every bank in India, every payment aggregator uses UPI – you don’t need anything more than a smartphone & your number automatically connects your bank account to the payment aggregators in a second & that’s it – you can pay – no fees, no delay & no extra steps.
@Jong XinaUS has had Zelle for over a decade now.. Plus, America works on credit so this isn’t going to be popular. Credit cards are safe and have zero liability transactions. Contactless digital pay is in every corner of the US.
Please bow your head and say this prayer now 🙏
“Carry our prayers up to Gods throne, that
the mercy of the Lord may quickly come
and lay hold of the beast,
the serpent of old, Satan
and his demons, casting him
in chains into the abyss, so that
he can no longer seduce the nations.
Thank you for everything
CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE,
LORD GOD. Amen.” 🙏
If you can’t look and remember the words, just read and pray them while you have your head bowed and your hands in front of your face 🙏
Mathew 6:7 When praying, do not say the same things over and over again as the people of the nations do, for they imagine they will get a hearing for their use of many words.
India copying Made in China.
Every country in the world always overtake American tech with a vengeance, just call your local credit card company.
India leads the world’s scammer calls 💯
Scanmers
Cope paper money users😂
It’s like Swish in Sweden
Is Swish a government owned platform that is free? and can any payment app send and receive from any other payment app ? I ask because that is what this UPI is – it’s a free platform built and owned by the government so that individual payment apps can interoperate…
Also there is a free payment app made available by the government, that can be used for zero cost of transacting
And the platform has APIs ..meaning people can use chats to send recieve money..we can send recieve money using WhatsApp in India
@Dattatraya Limaye Yes its government owned, yes it’s free to use, yes you can send and receive from any other payment app. Websites and everything uses it. Flea markets, hot dog stands, McDonalds, Facebook marketplace, you name it. I haven’t touched cash in years.
Such great step in 🇮🇳 India. Im proud of myself. ❤
@Durgesh Sonar ran out of arguments so started crying typical lndbhkt🤣🤣🤣
@Rlmao look who’s crying after giving them reality check with proper statistics
Kiddo go watch pogo on mobile which your abbu bought for you …
Why are you proud lol? Did you create this system?😂
@Moon Shine no, I did not create but it is in my country
Kavachh ka Kya hua lawday lndbhkt jhaaanto bnndarr🤣🤣🤣
That country looks so gross. Just overcrowded and filthy.
Let me explain something farmers when we take a steer in to have the steer slaughtered and butchered for ourselves we don’t eat the entire steer the day we have it taken into of it slaughtered and butchered we store the meat we freeze it and we dry it and can it when I take my wheat crop in I do several things with the wheat crop one of them is for flour to make bread other things are to make feed for the other animals why don’t you people comprehend food and how to store why don’t you people comprehend how to store fruits and vegetables and fresh meat I think there’s some Nations that have done some things to themselves and they aren’t even people
Most of these especially women Farmers we take our meet and our poultry in to have it slaughtered and we freeze it in freezer bags most of us have deep freezers we steam and freeze the fruits and vegetables that we grow or we can them in canning jars some people dehydrate them
Even when I go now to a grocery store or to a butcher shop if I buy a large quantity of me and a lot of times I do I freeze it I separate the meat out into freezer bags and freeze it I don’t want to go to the store everyday I shouldn’t need to
You know why you have cheese in the grocery stores it’s because Farmers realized how to store milk and make cheese with it
When we milk a cow and we save the milk the cream and half-and-half for ourselves a lot of times we make fresh butter and ice cream at home
There isn’t any food that you eat at a restaurant or purchase and eat from a grocery store that isn’t grown on a farm
The vegetables that are growing the home garden when I plant the seeds that I buy at the store same seeds only in much smaller quantities
And honestly know I don’t really like the food in Mexico or Central America or South America don’t like their food I like the food here
The foods on each continent are different and people that sailed over here or flew over here they for some reason didn’t comprehend that the foods are different here than they are in the Nations that they’re from
There are some foods that I like from other nations but I really like the food here where I’m from
And when I tell you you need to learn to farm you need to learn to save the seed from the fruits and vegetables that you have in your so that you can plant a crop every year
And this is really for the people in the United States because you people buy a can of ravioli with meatballs or a frozen dinner and you still don’t get it
Is that why Indians beg for visas for Europe and US😂😂😂
@R I don’t know I just know what some people from India told me about the oxygen and about the food shortages that they have my people are of the tribes of the north of the United States
the guy in the red shirt vibes lol
I’m telling you now those beings that were on the other planet they are people
And I understand what you’re talkin about it and yet but I’m telling you they have got to grow trees I have her complaint after complaint after complained that they don’t have enough oxygen they’ve got to grow trees and vegetation in and they’ve got to clean up their water if you don’t have clean water and you don’t have trees and vegetation and plants you don’t have enough oxygen
Grow fruit trees and nut trees then you hit oxygen and food
The West won’t do it, they believe in the middle man making money off of both sides during the transaction
There are people here in the United States that kept swearing this is Russia or Africa and you know what I know they were supposed to sail the Rhine River they weren’t ever supposed to sail the Atlantic or the Pacific but they did and they shouldn’t have ever been here
And if Christopher Columbus went back or America went back and told you people that there weren’t people here they lied to all of you our tribes have been here since the beginning of time
The Aztec tribes are different from the tribes of the North the tribes of the north are from here what we called the United States
QR code payment is high tech compare to cash but its still low tech. The best is NFC payment or Tap to Pay like google pay or Apple Pay.
I know someone would say how about CC ? Ok Credit card is different entirely its not just payment method its actually a loan plus credit companies offer security protection against fraud in case of unauthorized transactions.
@Dattatraya Limaye lol you think thats a big deal…you can send money to anyone in china on WeChat, you can send money to anybody on iMessage, apple pay, WhatsApp, google pay in the US too, the list goes on and on, It’s nothing new. Oh WhatsApp is American company…so I don’t know what you are so proud of?
@Yg Twhat he’s trying to say is WhatsApp has its own UPI thing, you don’t even need to scan
@Ayush YadavNot sure where or when you visited but they’re in every corner of the US now.. also yes, credit card transactions are zero liability and most people use credit here so this will never take off. But, the US has had Zelle for well over a decade.
@Yg T before answering anyone, know basic fasts. POS stands for point of sale. No matter what machine your country is using or what technology it is using, it would still be called a POS machine
@Yg T basically you’re also uniformed. The merchant needs to type the amount on his device during an NFC money transfer. This is basically done by the consumer in UPI and is equally time consuming. If you don’t know basic facts don’t argue. And btw NFC is also available in India, but people still use UPI because it is more convenient and better. No charges are levied by the bank on any transfer. Some use cases like mass-transit systems are better suited with NFC, but it doesn’t mean that UPI does not has its own advantageous use cases.
I invoked and enforce the eighteenth amendment
I invoke and enforce the eighteenth amendment of the United States Constitution
Cash is Queen!
skill issue
@Lola Laszivgo back to school kiddo …. develop your unused brain before talking non sense
@Lola Lasziv money is not material it is a legal tender if it is given by paper it can be manupalted .
imagine signing up for Google and Google parcels you a paper after a day with account details
BUT, ONLY IN SANCTIONED COUNTRIES – rest of the world, its QR codes / credit cards.
Lol😂😂
Too many academics these days are primarily progressive globalist activists. Now that BLM and Dominion are going bankrupt. Where are the very, very, clever people who worked out that divide and rule will keep people’s eyes off the globalist cult. Now !! With these two pawns out of the way, what is the boffin’s next move to divide ? Climate change next ? Or have you thought of something better ?
Please use India’s proper map 🇮🇳
It is the proper map (according to westerners) 🇮🇳
😂😂😂
🤔🤔🤔
its not Non Profit Org(NGO)….. Its Govt non profit Organzation who created it.
I think you guys deliberately used that word because 1) you can’t digest the fact Govt body done fabulous work
2) You guys can continue ask the charity in countries like USA for NGOs working in India, as if they are doing good job in India
Online payment is way more easier than Carrying bank notes,,
Thats not safe
That’s very safe that’s why many foreign countries adopted Indian UPI system first go and research then bark here stupid
Noob
Aisa kaise ?
Absolutely correct! It’s literally everywhere,remote villages to smallest retail shops,even used by beggars.5yrs ago it was unthinkable & ppl hv embraced & adapt it quickly.
Except in the capital city of Delhi. I went to buy fruits from carts and none of them had these QR codes. On the other hand, in Bangalore, everyone, including the coconut water seller had them.
Now these mofos from the west will try to come into India, and hijack these digital transactions, try to put a fee and steal our money!
Took them long enough
You love to see countries advancing forward in real time
Yep. I loved it when I heard home grown.
❤❤❤
Use the correct Indian Map …
According to westerners, that is the correct map 🇮🇳
You still need a bank account. The system is centralized. The bank is making money off your money. There is a better way.
Decentralized! Crypto currency!
Meh 😑
LOL….far better than paying oodles of money to VISA/MASTERCARD in the name of ANNUAL FEE/RENEWAL FEE etc.
I’ml from India. I order Grocery while sitting at home and it arrives in 20 minutes. This is the Benefit of Digital Payments and Online Shopping, All made possible thanks to Visionary Leader – Narendra Modi. It wasn’t like this always, We used to walk to the Market, Get slapped with ridiculous prices by the sellers, Bargain with them, Buy and return, Which used to take a lot of money and effort.
True. If this was congress the fees or profit from this will be directly sent to Nehru gandhi family upkeep.
@Mayank Jain True. But for that the opposition will shout non stop and we indians most of them don’t know even what is SANATHANA DHARMA . So when our education system is changed to reflect the true culture and history of india then we can do it.
@Buddha’s Disciple How is it relevant to what I am saying? Online shopping is not dependent on UPI. It was growing a lot even before UPI became popular.
@Gowtham V Not just opposition, it is every institution with HINDU in its name that will also protest, that are currently profiting from using this label.
@Gowtham V I don’t think Congress has a lot of money. If they did, they wouldn’t be needing to sell paintings to pay for Sonia’s medical treatment.
Wrong map, immediate dislike.😐
outside India, that is the map visible, unfortunately.
@Buddha’s Disciple dislikes form Indians are the only thing that can change this behaviour.
Map is wrong
outside India, that is the map unfortunately.
I personally prefer not to link my bank account as it is harder to recover funds defrauded from your own account.
I prefer using a credit card linked with a payment system like Apple Pay so that even if there’s fraud, it’s not my money that’s being lost. Credit Card disputes are settled faster.
In UPI, you can link your credit card too. Reserve bank of India allowed to link credit cards too.
i have twi bank accounts but only do transactions thru 1. and then use the other to fill up the former account with money
@IROSE Only RuPay credit cards work with UPI.
Other credit cards work ONLY on the Bharat QR code (which is very rarely used by merchants).
@Buddha’s Disciple Credit Cards are great for INDIAN businesses also! Are you living in a cave? 😂
@Buddha’s DiscipleIn the US, most people use credit as it’s zero liability and comes with a lot of benefits. So contactless payments are popular here although Zelle has existed for a decade or more.
You are 10 years late with this news 😂😂😂 are American news agencies living under a rock of something
Why do you care if or when western news agencies report on it? Shows your colonial mindset.
😂😂😂
US is at least a decade behind India on this one
No privacy then once US gets it coz no cash lol
Digital India, btw I m a AI 😉
She went to india looked for poor place with dirty qr code and decided to do her journalism
But that is typical Indian location and most of the places look like that
NBC why you showed this side of India, there are some slums in Dharavi make this topic on that place😉👍
Lol! A developing economy doesn’t mean sophistication – Hindu Devils are killing Mislims and burning down masjids. The jinn worshipers have attacked and killed Christians
Now we can track the scammers by QR code
It’s amazing what happens when payment processors don’t nickel and dime businesses.
Yawn , China had this like 15 years ago mate
that’s not a news, coz it exists some years,but the question is how do a foreigner who has no india banks account to pay with it if he traveled to india, coz it need to link to a india bank tho
You get a wallet at the airport when you arrive
@SciCourses 😂
The QR code is not the real thing , its the technology behind real time transfer that is !! The UPI system uses just a virtual ID to transfer money between accounts real time, billions of times in a day !
This segment makes it look like fruit sales and poor ppl, when it’s more like pharmaceuticals, electronics, furniture, and auto parts.
Watch out India, grow too big you might see yourself in America’s crosshairs next.
💎🇮🇳💎🕉️💎 Incredible India.
❤❤
Plz show correct map of India…
It do have platform fee😅
Old news
japan will retake the kurils sakhalin and vladivsotok south korea will take nroth koea.
fall of silicon vlaley bank and signature bank………………………………….
India is learning from China in an all-round way
Except for the QR code, the systems in India and China are vastly different.
Yes India is learning not only from China but from around the world. But in digital payments system we are the king. UPI is revolutionary. Digital currency also going to be launched for transactions in this apps.
choosing bad image in thumbles .. trying to show something …… 😅😅
wrong map of India is used
Contactless payments are so good for germaphodia, especially in a country which is not mostly known for its high hygenic standards.
Yes that’s why it’s so popular in China. Chinese people don’t trust each other as far as hygiene is concerned.
Yes, India is living beside the covid producing unhygienic gutter oil consuming CCP run garbage dump.
Thank you Modi ji.
Most of that $1Trillion comes from PHONE SCAMMING AMERICANS probably.
We used to trust these people now they lie like Trump and the MAGA-NUT e-Vangeli-Cows in the South.
I don’t even remember the last time I used cash or credit card.
Hello nbc why you using wrong map of India ? Ita shameful
Gotta make sure the government knows how much to tax you.
Correct the Map 🤬#bc
I can go to market without wallet and with full confidence 🗿
Please show the correct map of india
u bloody nbc news . show india 🇮🇳 map correctly. u bulshit people. cheap mentality
I went to China a few years ago to source machinery and India for customer support reps for a firm I was working for. In China I couldn’t even use Cash anywhere. Thankfully my driver used his WeChat QR and contactless payment system for all purchases and I reimbursed him. I was pretty much reliant on him because I would’ve needed a Chinese bank account to set up contactless payments. Hopefully India implements a system for tourists to be able to use these services without having to open a local bank account.
It’s the same thing in India.. last time I visited family there, it was such a struggle without an Indian account.. there’s no interface between UPI and the international payments system so even Visa credit cards weren’t working.
upi is now available for foreigners, you can top up 2k rupees on a no-bank account.
