BHIM Vega – Instant In-App Payments A major highlight of BHIM 3.0 is BHIM Vega, an in-app payment system that lets users pay merchants instantly within the app, without switching to third-party apps. Speaking at the launch, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) executive director Vivek Deep emphasised the importance of customer satisfaction and a strong support system to retain users. “Efforts should continue to be focused on monitoring customer satisfaction and ensuring that suitable address mechanism is available to those who are already onboarded so that they do not move away to other places,” Deep said. NPCI Bhim Services CEO Lalitha Nataraj is optimistic about the app’s growth. "See, when you put up a clean UI UX and give a customer experience, there will be an organic growth in market share. And we will continue working on retention, because all this while, we were not putting this out as a commercial app, we were looking at it more as a reference app. So I'm sure organic acquisitions and retentions will continue. And as we see the adoption, then we will be able to draw out a meaningful business plan," Nataraj said.
