BBPS is an integrated bill payment system that will offer interoperable bill payment service to customers online and through a network of agents on the ground. It will cover repetitive payments for everyday utility services such as electricity, water, gas, telephone and Direct-to-Home (DTH).
ItzCash managing director Naveen Surya said: "In sync with the ‘Digital India’ mandate, the current thrust on revolutionising the country’s digital ecosystem is firmly gaining ground and the BBPS is an excellent platform which has come in timely to capture the country’s new e-dream.
"The platform will not just simplify the entire payments system but will enhance the convenience factor significantly giving a new face-lift to the entire system accelerating the macro agenda of India going digital. We have already grossed the highest industry numbers in the utility bill payments segment and with BBPS coming in we look forward to making it even bigger."
