What is Aadhaar enabled Payment System — AePs?
AePS is a National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI)-led model which allows online interoperable financial inclusion transaction at point of sale (Micro ATM) through the business correspondent of any bank using the Aadhaar authentication.
The only inputs required for a customer to do a transaction under AePS mode are IIN (identification of the customer's bank), Aadhaar number and fingerprint.
PPBL said it has also partnered with over 10,000 business correspondents to offer doorstep services.
