It was my second Axis meet and I was damn
excited to know what magic these guys at Axis are going to present before us.
The venue was same, corporate office of Axis
bank situated in the Bombay Dyeing Mills Compound.
The high class security and classy interiors were
equally appealing as they were on my first visit.
As usual the lazy I was a bit late and I regret to miss the starting initial part of the meet.

The agenda of the meet was the launch of “Ping
Pay” app by Axis Bank.
Here the magic begins.
What is Ping Pay
It is a multi social payment application by
Axis Bank. With this app you can simply ping and send/ask for money or recharge
to anyone on your Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter, Email or Phone book.
You can add digital content like pictures,
video, text or audio to give a personal touch to the transaction and make it
fun.
Ping Pay has been developed in partnership with
Fastacash, a Singapore based, venture-capital backed firm. Fastacash’s
technology enables value (money, airtime, coupons, etc) transfers, along with
digital content, across any social network and messaging platform.
Why Ping Pay
The most appealing and amazing thing about this
app is, it is an entry point for non-Axis customers. The impressive UI and
features provides a rich user experience while banking.
Also people are more digitally and socially connected so this app is apt and most convenient for them. The only banking social payment application which allows users to share digital content like text, images, audio and video, while sending/asking for money/mobile recharge.

How Ping Pay Works
The app provides an innovative, gesture based
user experience that enables money transfers without having to type in the
account number and the IFSC code. Sending or requesting money or mobile
recharges with the Ping Pay app takes a few simple steps. When sending money,
the user chooses a social or messaging channel and selects the name of the
person to whom the money is to be sent. They enter the amount to be sent and
set a “ping code” that is shared separately with the receiver. Upon confirming
the transaction, the money is immediately sent and the receiver gets a message
across the social or messaging channel selected by the sender. The receiver has
15 days to transfer the money to his/her bank account using IMPS. In the event,
the receiver does not claim the money received within 15 days, the transaction
would be auto-reversed to the sender’s account. Ping Pay also has ‘Ask for
Money’ and ‘Ask for Recharge’ options, which would allow the receiver to put in
a request for funds and also seek recharge from their friends and family across
social.
Finally the magic show got over and I was a
happy and satisfied man.
We had our set of questions and the Axis magicians answered them all quite superbly.
