Mumbai, India – August 29, 2024 – NPST, a leading digital banking and payments technology provider, listed on the NSE-SME exchange, today, launched a suite of groundbreaking AI-enabled digital payment solutions at the Global Fintech Fest 2024.

UPI rails are a key force behind the exponential growth of India’s fintech sector. These solutions are designed to empower banks and payment aggregators to capitalize on this ongoing momentum by leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.

The solutions include:

Risk Intelligence Decisioning Platform: Leveraging the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), the Risk Intelligence Decisioning Platform synthesizes intelligence from multiple data sources to learn and analyze transaction patterns. By predicting and preventing emerging risks, the platform enables merchant acquirers to effectively forecast and pre-empt fraud, creating a robust security framework for person-to-merchant transactions.

The key use cases include Merchant Trust Score, Customer Transaction Score, and Chargeback Fraud Prevention, which will help enhance compliance, strengthen security, and minimize the financial impact of fraud on merchant acquirers and aggregators.

EVOK 3.0 Payments Platform as a Service (PPaaS): EVOK 3.0 is an advanced iteration of the EvoK platform, delivering a comprehensive payment solution tailored for payment aggregators, payment gateway service providers, and merchants. This full-stack solution covers every aspect of the payment lifecycle, from end-to-end transaction processing to risk and fraud management, reconciliation, dispute and chargeback management, and analytics. EVOK 3.0 includes advanced transaction processing capabilities such as multi-bank intelligent routing, and shadow ledger capabilities designed to offload transaction authorization from Core Banking Systems. Enhanced by artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, the platform provides predictive fraud intelligence and seamless processing, enabling businesses to manage high transaction volumes efficiently while ensuring security and accuracy.

Innovative Overlays: NPST has introduced a series of innovative overlays designed to help banks and payment aggregators further monetize payment rails.

• PayJoy: An instant credit line solution seamlessly embedded into the customer’s transactional journey. The solution leverages AI-driven decision-making to assess customer credit eligibility based on account balances and transaction patterns, matching them with appropriate credit products and reducing the risk of defaults.
• UPI Circle: Designed to expand digital payment access across India, UPI Circle enables primary account holders to authorize secondary users to make UPI payments using their accounts. This provides a seamless and secure way to extend digital transaction capabilities to individuals without bank accounts.
• Contextual Payments: Enhance the customer checkout experience by delivering personalized discounts and offers, boosting the average order value of transactions and driving increased loyalty.
• TimePay Cash: Allows customers to withdraw cash using QR codes at nearby Kirana stores, creating a cost-efficient hyperlocal network that provides easy access to cash.
• UPI Lite Auto-Top Up: Enables customers to automatically replenish UPI Lite accounts promoting active usage and reducing the number of dormant accounts.

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Deepak Chand Thakur, Co-founder and CEO of NPST, said, “NPST’s vision is to bring digital payment technology to every entity in the financial value chain, driving the next decade of innovation in the payments industry. With UPI’s unstoppable growth, it has evolved from a simple transaction mechanism into a comprehensive ecosystem, enabling a range of consumer-centric use cases. Our expanded payment portfolio, now enhanced with cutting-edge AI capabilities, aligns with NPCI’s vision, helping banks and payment aggregators stay ahead of this evolution with relevant solutions while unlocking new monetization opportunities.”
