AePS (Aadhaar-enabled Payment System) allows customers to perform cash withdrawals, balance enquiries, and fund transfers using only their Aadhaar number and biometric fingerprint — no debit card, no PIN required. DMT (Domestic Money Transfer) enables instant inter-bank fund transfers from a retailer's portal to any bank account in India, using the sender's mobile number as the customer identifier, processed via IMPS through the NPCI network.
Together, AePS and DMT form the backbone of financial inclusion services in India — bringing banking access to the 300+ million unbanked and underbanked citizens who do not have smartphones, debit cards or bank branches nearby. For your retailers, AePS and DMT are high-demand, high-frequency services that bring significant daily footfall and commission income.
UP17 Communication's AePS & DMT Software connects your platform to an NPCI-authorised Business Correspondent (BC) API provider, enabling your retailer network to act as Banking Correspondent outlets (BC points) without needing a banking licence. The platform requires a biometric fingerprint scanner at the retailer level (typically a Mantra or Morpho USB scanner) and handles all the AePS and DMT transaction processing, wallet management, commission disbursement and reporting.
This software is particularly powerful when combined with BBPS bill payment and mobile recharge — creating a full fintech outlet at every retailer location. A single shop can process recharges, pay utility bills, accept cash withdrawals (AePS), and send money transfers (DMT) — becoming the de-facto financial services hub for the entire neighbourhood.
