Tata AIA announces digital payment facility

Thursday 10 August 2023 11:31 CET | News

Tata AIA Life Insurance has introduced digital payments to provide an instant premium payment facility through WhatsApp and UPI-enabled payment options.

This new launch allows consumers to pay premiums digitally and receive a quick premium payment confirmation as well as acknowledgement. Additionally, Tata AIA intends for this solution to be easy to use for both tech and non-tech-savvy consumers by offering a hassle-free premium payment experience.

In India, WhatsApp and Unified Payment Interfaces (UPI) are some of the key players when it comes to messaging and payment facilities, respectively. Currently, the country has close to 500 million WhatsApp users and more than 300 million UPI users. According to the press release, by introducing premium payment through these platforms, Tata AIA aims to ensure that it provides its consumers with the efficiency and convenience of making a transaction through their preferred modes.

Tata AIA has adopted an analytics-driven, decile-based approach to improve its renewal premium collections. The company has enabled renewal premium collections through multiple digital modes. The enhanced feature also has an expanded language capability to five different languages – English, Hindi, Tamil, Gujarati, and Bengali. Communication drive via WhatsApp and SMS services have been automated using an Adobe-based campaign management system, enabling the company to study behaviour and modify communication channels accordingly.

Payment Infrastructure in India 

According to an article by Hitachi Social Innovation, developments over the last few years have sparked a less-cash revolution all over India. Demonetisation, UPI's innovation, the emergence of ewallets, and an increasing number of other digital payment solutions have brought in the digitisation of financial transactions. This transformation is expected to benefit the country’s economy as well as empower citizens with secure payment options. At the same time, however, cash seems to also stay at the forefront, especially in semi-urban and rural sectors, and become more accessible than ever before.


As the unbanked become part of the banked, financial literacy grows, and banking services including ATMs reach the rural and semi-urban areas, it is expected that India might see a convergence of cash and digital transactions. People across the socio-economic spectrum will have the ability to have an omnichannel experience and have a wide range of options to choose from.
