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.

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, 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.
