According to Mr. Sudhakar Ramasubramanian, CEO (Designate), Aditya Birla Idea Payments Bank Ltd said, “Our new and improved Idea Money App features a vibrant interface which caters to the digitally savvy users, who have in the wake of the demonetization drive, started using payment wallets more frequently. Based on our research and user feedback, we have redesigned the app to be more visually appealing, as well as added some new and useful features that will make cashless transactions more secure, accessible and convenient for users. We are committed to continuously innovating and building new product propositions that work for our partner’s and customer’s benefit.”

Idea Money has witnessed a huge upsurge both in volumes and usage values, post demonetisation and has almost reached 1 million downloads on the Android platform. There has also been an increase in load money on the wallet through Debit card, Credit card and Internet Banking.

Idea Money is redefining cashless transactions through its unique features that include the recently announced Retailer Assisted Model (RAM) and the availability of USSD based transactions. RAM enables retailers to pull payments and conduct transactions via Idea Money while the USSD feature enables customers without a smartphone to conduct cashless transactions, via an SMS-based platform for feature phones.
