Finance Minister also unveiled the UN Principles for Responsible Digital Payments at the Global Fintech Festival today and stated that “The UN Principles for Responsible Digital Payments is coming in at the right time, especially when countries are racing against each other to reach their maximum population with technology”. 

“Under the leadership of Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, India has democratised financial services and accelerated the deployment of digital public good infrastructure that promotes financial inclusion and progress towards sustainable development goals,” said Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman. She added, “The UN principles on digital payments have come at the right time and will serve as an important resource to all stakeholders in delivering digital payments based on the principles of trust, consent, privacy, transparency and choice for the end user.”

Unified Payments Interface (UPI) is covered in the UN Principles as an example of how an open, inclusive, and an interoperable digital public good infrastructure can lead to greater economic participation by the society and especially women, in the most vulnerable times of crisis, by providing secure and contactless payments. The report revolves around consumer protection good practices that put users at the center of payment digitization, especially women and people living in rural areas who are more likely to find themselves outside the formal financial sector.  The principles mentioned in the report are: safeguarding of data; recourse; transparency on pricing, interoperability within a digital payments ecosystem that treats everyone fairly; prioritizing women; ensuring products are designed for user needs; providing choice; and ensuring accountability to deliver on these vital tenets of responsibility. 

The Finance Minister concluded the session by stating, “We are happy to support, strengthen and further the FinTech adoption in the country and the Government of India will be happy to associate with the Global FinTech Fest in the future.”
