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.

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.

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.

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 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.
