Medial

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.

The Walmart-backed fintech processed 9.91 billion transactions, with a 45.7% share of total volume and a 48.6% share by value among UPI apps. Overall, the UPI processed 21.7 billion transactions worth Rs 28,33,481 crore during the month. Google Pay held on to the second position with 7.23 billion transactions.

In value terms, Paytm’s UPI transactions amounted to Rs 1,81,973 crore during the period. With the current trend, PhonePe is expected to cross 10 billion monthly transactions very soon. Among mid-sized players, Navi recorded 709 million transactions worth Rs 37,956 crore, followed by super.money, which processed 298 million transactions valued at Rs 12,546 crore.

Despite lower volumes, CRED continued to lead in value, with transactions amounting to Rs 58,841 crore, reflecting its focus on higher-value payments. Axis Bank’s UPI apps recorded a total transaction volume of 153 million, driven largely by business-to-consumer payments. WhatsApp Pay processed 113 million transactions worth Rs 8,358 crore.

PhonePe hits 9.8 Bn UPI transactions in December; BHIM overtakes CRED PhonePe has continued to tighten its grip on India’s UPI ecosystem in December with 9.81 billion customer-initiated transactions worth Rs 13.61 lakh crore, according to data compiled from NPCI disclosures. The Walmart-backed fintech held a 45.35% market share by volume and 48.68% by value among the top 10 UPI apps during the month. Google Pay retained the second position with 7.5 billion transactions, accounting for a 34.64% share of total volumes and 34.25% of overall transaction value. Paytm stayed in third place with 1.65 billion transactions in December, representing a 7.65% share by volume and 6.32% by value. Beyond the top three, activity remained fragmented. Navi reported 678 million transactions, while super.money recorded 287 million transactions during the month. The government-backed BHIM app saw 158 million transactions, while CRED slipped to eighth position with 157.25 million transactions. However, CRED registered nearly three times higher transaction value compared to BHIM. Axis Bank’s UPI apps and WhatsApp Pay remained small contributors, each accounting for less than 1% of total transaction volumes. The strong app-level numbers came as UPI overall logged one of its highest-ever monthly transactions in December, with 21.63 billion transactions worth Rs 27.97 lakh crore. The increase was mainly due to year-end spending, continued festive demand, and more people using UPI for small offline payments in tier II and tier III cities. In December, UPI transactions were led by everyday consumption categories, as groceries and supermarkets topped the chart, followed by fast food outlets, restaurants, telecom services, and fuel stations. Digital gold also saw a strong uptick during the month, recording 183.32 million transactions worth Rs 2,079.31 crore from 123.42 million transactions valued at Rs 1,215.36 crore in November.

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.
