Peer-to-peer payments may be added to WhatsApp in India in the coming months. The Ken reports the messaging service will introduce that feature within six months. WhatsApp is reportedly speaking with the government about working with the country's Unified Payments Interface (UPI).
If WhatsApp utilizes UPI, it'll easily offer money transfer capabilities between user accounts at a variety of local banks.
Some support for this upcoming feature is found in a WhatsApp job listing for a Digital Transactions Lead in India.
India is a large market for the app, providing the Facebook-owned messaging service with over 200 million users.
