IMPS Reports 34.94M Mobile Money IDs, 43 Banks; Just 31,553 Transactions In May 2012

The Interbank Mobile Payment Service saw a growth of 26.61% in the total transactions taking place, with a 1.17 % increase in total number of Mobile Money IDs (MMID) being issued, according to data published by the National Payments Council of India.

Amongst banks, ICICI Bank issued the maximum numbers of MMIDs at 163.5 lakh followed by AxisBank with 66.43 lakh, SBI Bank with 39.1 lakh MMIDs, Oriental Bank of Commerce with 17.1 lakh and Kotak Mahindra Bank with 1.69 million MMIDs.

The NPCI is taking other steps to promote the service as well, including the introduction of a universal USSD code to access the service.
