WhatsApp Pay doubled its UPI transaction volume to 167.89 million in July 2026, surpassing Cred and Amazon Pay to become the eighth-largest UPI app by volume in India. This growth follows the removal of user onboarding restrictions by the National Payments Corporation of India in December 2024.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

WhatsApp's surge in UPI volumes changes your fintech market's competitive landscape. If you build payment infrastructure or UPI-based products, expect shifting user flows and new partnership openings.
