Unemployed? Running out of trend/business? Want to boost your existing B2B business? Looking for new business start up Idea ???? Aadhaar Enabled Payment System (AEPS ) is a system developed by the National Payments Corporation of India that allows people to carry out financial transactions on a Micro-ATM by furnishing just their Aadhaar number and verifying it with the help of their fingerprint/iris scan.

People do not have to mention their bank account details to carry out these transactions. With the help of this payment system, people can send funds from one bank account to another simply through their Aadhaar numbers.

Benefits of AePS

There are a number of benefits of AePS. Some of those are mentioned below:

  • Banking, as well as non-banking transactions, can be performed through a banking correspondent.
  • Banking correspondents of one bank can perform transactions of other banks as well.
  • People do not have to furnish their debit/credit card for making transactions through AePS.
  • The fingerprint is needed for transaction authentication which makes it safer.
  • Micro PoS machines can be taken to distant places enabling people in remote villages to make transactions instantly.

The government has set a target of bringing all citizens in the banking framework. However, it is not feasible to open bank branches in all remote villages. Thus the government has come up with AePS where people from far-off places will easily be able to send/receive money and avail other financial and non-financial banking facilities
