BHIM, Bharat Interface For Money, is the latest app launched by the Prime Minister of India on 31st December 2017. BHIM app is an initiative to encourage digital payments & transactions that the people encounter in daily life. The government of India have been stressing upon the cashless economy ever since the demonetization decision was passed. Till now PayTM was the only renowned app which the citizens of India were using for the digital payment. But now BHIM app for iOS and android has made everything crystal clear about the government’s stand on going cashless.
How BHIM App For iPhone & Android Works?
BHIM app is developed under the Unified Payment Interface, and all you need is your mobile number to start receiving and sending money. The concept is pretty much similar to that of PayTm. But, since this is an app managed by Government, all the transaction will be in direct invigilation of the officials. The money transfer can be done using any of the bank accounts.

How To Download BHIM App For iOS/iPhone?
Well, I’m a little dismayed while saying this that the Government of India decided to roll out BHIM app only for android as of now. According to the Government, the BHIM iOS app will be released soon. But, according to us, this is a plan wrongly implemented. Because the payments involving an iOS user at either of the ends will fail until the iOS app for BHIM is launched by the Government.
