Seven more banks are in the process of activating the IMPS and 22 others are expected to join the IMPS network soon.
How To Avail the Service : To avail of the service, an banking account holder will have to get mobile money ID (MMID) from the bank. MMID will be his ID for all mobile-commerce transactions.The banks will install special application on the mobile phone from where the remitting will be done.Once the process is complete, the bank account holder can remit money to anyone, provided he has the receiver’s MMID and mobile phone number.
In case of a low end Mobile Phone, where the Mobile Banking Apps cannot be installed or support, money can be transfered through SMS.
