According to the latest report by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), PPBL has registered 430.04 million transactions in the month of April 2021 as a beneficiary bank. No other beneficiary bank has been able to cross the milestone of 400 million monthly transactions.

PPBL has also continued to outperform other banks in terms of the success rate of UPI transactions. The NPCI data reveals that it has the lowest technical decline rate at 0.01% both as a beneficiary & remitter bank. The bank has further improved on these parameters as compared to the month of March when it clocked a technical decline rate of 0.03% as compared to all UPI beneficiary banks and 0.05% as compared to all UPI remitter banks.
All other banks rely on third-party apps to drive the UPI transactions and have a much higher technical decline rate of around 1%.
