RBI Governor addresses Global Conference on DPI and Emerging Technologies in Bengaluru.

He was speaking during the inaugural address at the Global Conference on Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) and Emerging Technologies in Bengaluru, as part of RBI@90 initiative. 

He noted that the current ecosystem of digital payments offers quick and safe transfers of funds, Das added.

He noted that the Unified Payment Interface (UPI)  launched by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), has made monetary transactions easier. 

Hence, RBI is now ready with a unified lending interface for frictionless credit. 

ULI was launched as a pilot last year. He said this will be rolled out across the country soon. 

The RBI governor explained that ULI cuts down time for credit appraisals for small borrowers. It is entirely consent-based and the data privacy is protected. 

It will reduce the complexity of multiple tech integrations and play a similar role in transforming the lending ecosystem in India journey.
