Indus OS, the widely regarded Android-based Indian operating system, and Yes Bank, India’s fourth largest private sector bank announced a partnership to launch the first-of-its-kind integrated UPI payment platform. Through this partnership, for the first-time ever Indian consumers can access an OS-integrated framework designed for the UPI payment platform, without the hassle of downloading and storing an external app.

Indian consumers can conveniently use the UPI payment platform directly on the SMS/ Messaging and Dialler interface, and even on third-party apps. The payment platform is expected to launch within this quarter.
On the partnership, Rakesh Deshmukh, co-Founder and CEO of Indus OS said, “This year, one of our focus areas is to empower the ecosystem with OS-integrated innovations that allow for mass applicability of initiatives launched under the ‘Digital India’ program. Our partnership with YES BANK, who have already created a success with its existing UPI framework, aims to drive up the existing growth rate of UPI-based transactions further. The OS-integrated UPI payment platform built by us allows for more deep and contextual integration with the smartphone experience. With Indus OS’ technological know-how and YES BANK’s expertise in banking, the output will surely be a success and set high benchmarks in the digital banking space. This will be a major step towards our mission to facilitate Govt. to citizen services for a billion Indians.”
Rakesh further added, “Last month, highest UPI transactions were recorded since its launch. Our aim is to help our current and future user base, who hail from across different parts of the country, and from varied socio-economic backgrounds, conveniently access the UPI payment platform. We hope this will help grow the transaction volumes further.”
