Worldline (Euronext: WLN), a global leader in payment services, today announced the release of its latest white paper titled “SoftPOS: Transforming Contactless Payments Across Industries“. This comprehensive study explores how Software Point-of-Sale (SoftPOS) is revolutionizing payment acceptance for businesses across sectors-from retail and restaurants to transit, healthcare and insurance across India.

As India witnesses exponential growth in digital payments-with UPI transaction values crossing Rs. 24.77 trillion in March 2025 alone-the paper underscores why SoftPOS adoption is no longer optional, but an imperative for businesses looking to stay relevant and competitive.

Key findings

  • India’s mobile payment market is projected to grow from $792.4 billion in 2024 to $4.99 trillion by 2033, at a CAGR of 21.56%.

  • By 2027, SoftPOS is expected to surpass 34.5 million merchant deployments globally.

  • Over 50% of all transactions in the Asia-Pacific region are expected to be tap-based by 2025.

  • Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) will drive over 60% of SoftPOS adoption, leveraging its affordability and ease of deployment.

Sectoral trends and applications

  • Retail and e-Commerce: Enables “endless aisle” experiences and mobile checkout for both in-store and delivery-based transactions.

  • Restaurants and Food&Beverage: Accelerates tap-to-pay acceptance for small and micro-merchants, especially in Tier II and III cities.

  • Transit and Mobility: Powers mobile ticketing, onboard fare collection and seamless reconciliation in buses, metros, and ride-sharing.

  • Healthcare: Simplifies in-clinic and pharmacy payments, supported by digital health initiatives like ABDM and DHIS1.

  • Insurance and Financial Services: Empowers agents to collect premiums and issue receipts in real-time-even in semi-urban and rural areas.

Mr. Ramesh Narasimhan, Chief Executive Officer – Worldline India, said: “SoftPOS represents a game-changing leap in India’s payments landscape. With the proliferation of smartphones and growing consumer preference for contactless experiences, this technology empowers businesses-especially MSMEs-to accept payments securely, affordably, and flexibly without the need for dedicated hardware. At Worldline, we are committed to driving this innovation, enabling financial inclusion, and shaping the future of digital commerce.”

The white paper further outlines the critical need for modernizing payment infrastructure, key differences between SoftPOS and traditional POS systems, security, compliance, and the role of MPoC standards and five-year projections and India’s leadership in SoftPOS adoption.

A fixed deposit is a trusted and secure option for risk-averse individuals. With time, technological advancements have modernised this investment avenue. Today, one no longer needs to visit a bank and complete lengthy paperwork to open a fixed deposit. Instead, consumers can book an FD on a mobile application and even compare rates across financial institutions for the highest returns.

That is exactly what booking a fixed deposit on the Wizely App enables investors to do. Users can book reliable FDs from anywhere and at any time, enjoying a smooth and secure investment process.

Benefits of Booking a Fixed Deposit on the Wizely App

Wizely is a suitable choice for today’s fastest-paced generation, allowing them to grow their savings with a click on their phones. Here’s why.

Transparency in Comparison

When selecting an investment, it is crucial to compare offerings to determine the best-suited option. This is also the case when going for a fixed deposit investment. One must compare rates offered by reputed banks and financial institutions to find the one that offers the highest interest with flexible terms.

Wizely facilitates this by curating top issuers on its interactive dashboard. Users can easily check the interest rate they can get before choosing the most suitable option. This increases transparency, helping customers make informed decisions.

Easy Option

Investing via the Wizely App takes only a few minutes – from selecting the investment terms to making the deposit. Unlike the traditional approach, one does not need to wait for confirmation from a bank executive or wait for the paperwork to be completed. This quick process helps individuals grow their savings promptly and without any hassles.

Regulated and Secure

The Wizely App only features RBI-licensed banks and NBFCs. Thus, investors have peace of mind that their hard-earned savings are secure. Further, users can rely on insurance of up to Rs. 5 lakhs from the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC) on their investment in bank FDs.

Real-time Tracking

With Wizely, users can easily stay updated about the growth of their investment. The app provides round-the-clock tracking, enabling investors to plan better as they move closer to their financial goals.

Swift Liquidity

On reaching maturity, Wizely automatically sends the funds (including the principal and interest income) to the investors bank account. When it’s time, they can also reinvest the sum with a new fixed deposit. What’s more, users can choose to prematurely withdraw their FD as per the terms of the issuer, and get access to cash for emergencies.

Why to Choose Wizely

Here are some key features that make fixed deposits on the Wizely App worth considering.

Competitive Interest Rate

Customers can get a rate of up to 9.10% p.a. on their investment. This lucrative return comes with virtually zero risk. Interest rates vary from one issuer to another and depend on the tenure, too. Users can choose terms based on their needs and see related rates with ease on the app.

Top Banks and NBFCs

On Wizely, one can choose from the following RBI-regulated issuers:

  1. Suryodya SF Bank

  2. Slice SF Bank

  3. Utkarsh SF Bank

  4. Shivalik SF Bank

  5. South Indian Bank

  6. Shriram Finance

  7. Bajaj Finance

Apply with an Existing Bank Account

Customers do not need to create a new bank account at the time of booking a fixed deposit on Wizely. They can simply link their existing bank account to make the deposit and receive the return in the same account at the time of maturity.

Steps to Invest in an FD on the Wizely App

To book an FD on Wizely, one needs to follow these steps.

Register an Account

The Wizely App is available on both the App Store or Google Play Store. After successfully installing it, users can create a profile using their mobile number and email address and complete OTP verification. To enhance security, Wizely requests that customers set up a secure PIN or biometric authentication.

Choose the Issuer

Once the account is successfully created, users can tap on ‘FD’ to see FDs with the highest returns. All issuers and their rates are clearly mentioned on the dashboard. They can also filter FDs by tenure.

Complete KYC

The next step is to click on ‘Create FD’ and customers can proceed by providing their PAN number and date of birth to complete the KYC process. This takes only a few minutes and links the investment to the investor’s identity for security.

Choose Suitable Terms

After completing the KYC, users can choose their preferred tenure, from 6 months to 5 years, and investment amount, aligning with their goals.

Make a Deposit

The final step of booking an FD on Wizely is to make a payment. One can deposit the preferred investment amount from their bank account using UPI.

Combining safety and simplicity, Wizely is truly revolutionising the way India invests in fixed deposits. Customers can download the Wizely App today and start the journey towards stress-free fixed deposit investments!

Universal Sompo Extends Insurance Coverage to Pets

Universal Sompo experiences a high demand for Pet Assure, a comprehensive and customisable pet insurance product tailored to meet the evolving needs of India’s growing community of pet parents.

Universal Sompo Launches Personalized Pet Insurance

Urban India is witnessing a dramatic shift in pet ownership trends, driven largely by Millennials and Gen Z. Now pets are no longer just companions but cherished as family members. This cultural transformation has fuelled rising demand for structured, preventive, and tech-enabled pet care solutions, particularly in Tier 1 cities, and increasingly across Tier 2 and Tier 3 regions.

Pet Assure has been designed to support this growing responsibility by offering extensive coverage for pet dogs and cats aged between 3 months and 10 years. The policy includes protection for routine outpatient consultations, diagnostics, surgeries, critical illnesses, accidental injuries, and third-party liabilities. Optional benefits further extend to coverage for terminal diseases, pregnancy-related complications, dental care, post-treatment recovery, theft or loss, emergency pet minding, and even cremation expenses.

Customers can choose from flexible sum insured options ranging from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 2,00,000, with policy tenures of one to three years. Premiums start at an affordable Rs. 1499 per annum, making pet insurance accessible to a broad range of pet parents across the country.

“Pets today are cherished family members and deserve the same level of healthcare and financial protection. With Pet Assure, we’ve built one of the most inclusive and customisable pet insurance offerings in the market,” said the Pet Parents Fraternity at Universal Sompo. “This is a step toward not only meeting a growing market demand but also fulfilling our commitment to holistic customer well-being.”

Real-life testimonials already speak to its value. Mr. Jagrit Joshi, a pet parent working as a Digital Activations Lead, shared, “As veterinary costs and pet ownership in Indian cities surge, pet insurance is transitioning from luxury to a necessity. My pet dog, Coco, was unwell and advised diagnostic tests. Ultrasound findings revealed crystal formation and a cyst in the prostate, for which he underwent surgery. The Pet Parent Fraternity at Universal Sompo stood in strong support throughout and ensured timely settlement of all claims expenses.”

As pet tele-health services gain popularity and veterinary care grows more advanced, Universal Sompo’s commitment and pet insurance offering is a timely and responsible initiative. More than just a financial safeguard, Pet Assure is a step toward redefining pet care in India, ensuring pet parents have peace of mind and their furry family members receive the care they deserve.
