Flipkart’s Super.money pushes CRED out of top 5 UPI app in Feb The Unified Payments Interface (UPI) recorded a 5.2% decline in transaction volume, totaling 16.11 billion in February 2025. While the top three UPI apps—PhonePe, Google Pay, and Paytm—continued to dominate the market, Flipkart’s Super.money entered the top five for the first time. PhonePe accounted for 47.54% of transaction volume (7,656.40 million) and 50.94% of the total value (Rs 11,18,963.81 crore). Google Pay secured the second position, processing 5,836.80 million transactions (36.24% volume share) worth Rs 7,71,089.15 crore (35.11% value share). Paytm recorded 6.70% volume share and Rs 1,17,090.29 crore in value (5.33% value share). Among smaller players, Cred stood out with Rs 45,127.72 crore in transactions (2.05% value share), despite a 0.79% volume share. Navi and Super.money held minor shares, processing 260.75 million and 139.10 million transactions, respectively. In terms of volume, Super.money has replaced CRED to become the 5th largest UPI app in the last month. As UPI adoption continues to grow, PhonePe and Google Pay control over 83% of the market, with Paytm striving to stay competitive. NPCI Chief Dilip Asbe recently revealed that UPI has 450 million users, with 200 million active daily. He emphasized the need for RBI, the government, and financial institutions to support strategies aimed at onboarding 200-300 million more users.

PhonePe, G-Pay reach peak UPI volumes in May; Super.money maintains lead over CRED In May, UPI recorded a total of 18.67 billion customer-initiated transactions amounting to Rs 25.14 lakh crore. Of these, 6.82 billion (36%) transactions valued at Rs 18.17 lakh crore (72%) were peer-to-peer (P2P), while the remaining 11.85 billion transactions worth Rs 6.96 lakh crore were peer-to-merchant (P2M). PhonePe and Google Pay continued their dominance in the UPI ecosystem in May 2025, maintaining their positions as the top two apps by both transaction volume and value. As per the latest NPCI data, PhonePe retained its lead with 8.68 billion transactions in May, which translates to a 46.47% share of the total volume among the top players. In terms of transaction value, the app processed Rs 12.56 lakh crore and controlled a 49.97% share. Google Pay followed closely with 6.74 billion transactions and Rs 8.85 lakh crore in value, capturing 36.09% and 35.20% of the volume and value shares, respectively. For PhonePe and Google Pay, May marked their highest transaction volumes since their previous peaks of 8.64 billion and 6.59 billion, respectively, in March. Together, these two apps handled more than 80% of all customer-initiated UPI transactions in the country. Paytm maintained its position in third place by processing 1.27 billion transactions and Rs 1.38 lakh crore in value. However, its 6.84% share of the transaction volume compared to a 5.49% share of value indicates that its users largely engage in low-ticket payments. CRED, on the other hand, stood out for its performance in high-value transactions. Despite accounting for just 141.95 million transactions (0.76% of the volume), CRED recorded a transaction value of Rs 55,242.72 crore, which translates into a 2.20% share of the total value processed. In terms of volume, Navi and Flipkart’s Super.money are ahead of CRED with 386.21 million and 203 million transactions, respectively. Axis Bank apps, which also handled 96.92 million B2C transactions, captured the 7th position. Fampay by Trio (110.38 million), Amazon Pay (98.68 million), and WhatsApp (70.19 million) held the 8th, 9th, and 10th positions, respectively. Super.money overtook CRED to become the fifth-largest UPI app in February and has maintained its lead over the fintech unicorn ever since.

The platform held 47.82% of the transaction volume and 50.52% of the transaction value. Google Pay followed as the second-largest UPI player, processing 5.7 billion transactions worth Rs 7,64,639.66 crore, capturing 37.07% of the volume and 35.48% of the value. Paytm (OCL) retained its position as the third-largest player, facilitating over 1 billion transactions worth Rs 1,18,004.06 crore. It accounted for 6.95% of the total UPI transaction volume and 5.48% of the transaction value.

PhonePe widens lead over G-Pay in March; CRED’s UPI ranking slips to 7th While the top five UPI apps — PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm, Navi, and Super.money — maintained their positions, CRED dropped to seventh place, overtaken by Axis Bank. The Unified Payments Interface (UPI) recorded a 13.6% increase in volume in March, reaching 18.30 billion transactions. While the top five UPI apps — PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm, Navi, and Super.money — maintained their positions, CRED dropped to seventh place, overtaken by Axis Bank. This follows a similar shift in February, when Super.money replaced CRED in the top five rankings. Axis Bank moved ahead of CRED after recording 125 million B2C transactions in March. In the UPI system, B2C (business-to-customer) transactions include payments like refunds, salaries, or cashback that businesses send to customers. With a commanding 47.25% market share by transaction volume, PhonePe retained its top position by processing 8.64 billion transactions. Google Pay followed closely with 36.04%, handling 6.59 billion transactions. Together, the two giants controlled over 83% of the UPI transaction volume. Paytm, the third largest player, contributed a 6.67% share (1.22 billion transactions). In terms of transaction value, PhonePe again led with a 50.76% market share, handling over Rs 12.57 lakh crore, followed by Google Pay at 34.99% (Rs 8.66 lakh crore). CRED, despite a modest volume share of 0.79%, emerged as a high-value player and contributed Rs 55,091.22 crore, or 2.22% of the total value. This reflects the firm’s positioning among high-value users. Other apps like Amazon Pay, ICICI Bank, and Axis Bank had a relatively minor presence in terms of both volume and value but still catered to specific user segments. In a recent development, the Indian government approved a new scheme with a budget of Rs 1,500 crore to encourage small merchants to use digital payments through the BHIM-UPI platform.

Fintech platform PhonePe further cemented its dominance in India’s UPI ecosystem in April 2025, maintaining the top spot in both transaction volume and value. The fintech unicorn processed 8,362.31 million UPI transactions worth Rs 12.05 lakh crore. This gave it 46.73% of the total volume and 50.32% of the total value among the top 10 UPI apps. Google Pay held on to second place, with 6,488.55 million transactions worth Rs 8.42 lakh crore. This translates to 36.26% share by volume and 35.18% by value. Paytm came in third, processing 1,210.24 million transactions valued at Rs 1.31 lakh crore, accounting for 6.76% of the volume and 5.48% of the value. CRED shines in high-value payments Navi and super.money took the fourth and fifth positions in terms of volume, with CRED slipping to sixth. However, CRED continued to outperform smaller players in terms of value. The platform processed Rs 49,753 crore through just 134.67 million transactions. This gave the credit-focused app a modest 0.75% share of total volume but a much higher 2.08% share in value. **Other players and total UPI picture** Axis Bank Apps, FamApp by Trio, Amazon Pay, and WhatsApp made up the rest of the top 10. WhatsApp, backed by Meta, was the lowest performer with 67.40 million transactions totaling Rs 5,065.44 crore. In total, UPI processed 17,893.42 million UPI transactions amounting to Rs 23.94 lakh crore in value in April 2025. PhonePe and Google Pay together handled over 82% of UPI transactions and 85% of the total value, clearly dominating India’s digital payments market.

E-commerce major Flipkart has launched a unified payments interface (UPI) app Super.Money to offer payments, credit, deposits and other digital financial services. As a part of the beta version, the app will be available for initial 100,000 users. The app is live in partnership with Axis Bank while it will also offer credit through Utkarsh Small Finance Bank. As per the company’s website, DMI Finance and Credit Saison are other financial partners of Super.Money. The app is also offering coupons, scratch cards or coins for making UPI payments. “Super.money aims to democratise access to financial services by leveraging UPI infrastructure, which is aligned to the government’s larger vision of financial inclusion,” said Prakash Sikaria, CEO of Super.Money. The development comes 18 months after the separation of Flipkart and PhonePe, which is the leading UPI app in India with nearly 50% market share. It’s worth highlighting that Flipkart also has its own UPI handle within the shopping app. Super.Money was reportedly in talks to raise $20 million from Flipkart. In March, Flipkart launched its own UPI services which will allow its users to set up their own UPI handle for online and offline merchant transactions. As per NPCI data, the app registered 4.44 million transactions worth Rs 251 crore in May. Its arch rival Amazon Pay did 68.34 million transactions in the last month. With 48.6% market share, PhonePe is the leader among UPI apps followed by Google Pay and Paytm with 37% and 8% market share respectively.

September 2024 marked a significant milestone in the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) ecosystem, with total transactions surpassing 15 billion for the first time since its inception in April 2016. PhonePe continues to dominate the market, processing an impressive 7.22 billion transactions valued at Rs 10,30,871 crore, according to data released by National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). Google Pay follows closely behind, recording 5.62 billion transactions worth Rs 7,46,690.05 crore. PhonePe experienced a slight decline in both transaction volume and value in September, while Google Pay showed an upward trend in both metrics over the same period. Paytm’s transaction numbers remained largely unchanged from August to September. As a result, market shares by volume are now 48% for PhonePe, 37.4% for Google Pay, and 7% for Paytm. In August, the market shares were slightly different, with PhonePe at 48.3%, Google Pay at 37.3%, and Paytm at 7.21%. In terms of transaction value, PhonePe’s share dipped just below 50%, while Google Pay and Paytm’s shares remained stable at 36% and 5.5%, respectively. CRED and Navi recorded 140 million and 120 million transactions, with transaction values of Rs 47,982.71 crore and Rs 6,549.10 crore, respectively. Notably, Navi experienced a 35% increase in transaction volume, and for the first time in September, it broke into the top five apps. Flipkart’s Super.money experienced the highest growth among UPI-based apps in September, boasting an impressive 120% increase in transactions. It secured the 15th position, just behind the government-promoted BHIM app. In September, out of the total 15 billion transactions, peer-to-merchant (P2M) transactions comprised 62%, while peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions made up the remaining portion. However, in terms of transaction value, P2P transactions accounted for over 72.5%, with P2M transactions representing the rest. In recent weeks, the NPCI has raised transaction limits for UPI, increasing the upper cap for certain types of payments to Rs 5 lakh. Additionally, the limits for UPI Lite Wallet and UPI 123Pay have also been enhanced. These changes aim to encourage consumers to engage in more digital transactions, aligning with the Indian government’s ambitious goal of reaching 1 billion transactions per day by 2026-27.
