However, it has gradually been made available to more people. If you are one of those lucky users, here is a simple guide on sending money using WhatsApp.

Open the WhatsApp application on your device.
Press the name of the contact to whom you would like to send money.
Tap on the Attach icon in the chat bar.
Select a method of payment, at your convenience.
Now, you will have to enter the amount of money you will have to send.
You will be asked to verify the payment through a UPI pin.
After you have typed in the pin, the payment will be processed.
You will automatically be redirected to your WhatsApp chat, where you should see the amount, you have sent across in a text message box.
It is important to keep in mind that you do not share your card information or their UPI pin with anyone else, even those you trust.
This system makes it much more convenient for people to make payments in a more compact method. While talking to a contact on WhatsApp, you will not be required to leave the app, or have open a separate third-party payments app to transfer money.
