This service is a boon to the underprivileged segment of India's population, who have been unable to avail the benefits of money transfers due to non-availability of Bank account. They would all now be able to transfer and receive funds from any bank into the OxiCash Wallet.

These money transfers are instant & made on real time , and is made possible by NPCI, using IMPS (Immediate Payment Service).

The tie up of NPCI with Oxigen's mobile e-wallet, "OxiCash", makes OxiCash India's First Non Banked wallet (approved by RBI), to make Instant money transfers to any bank, receive funds into the OxiCash Wallet from any bank, anytime, anywhere, 24*7!

Speaking at the occasion, Mr Pramod Saxena, Chairman & Managing Director, Oxigen said," It is indeed a proud moment for Oxigen, to be a pioneer, once again! Having launched India's first wallet OxiCash in 2008, and now with NPCI, Oxigen is the "India's First" , in mobile payment space, to launch an Instant 24x7 money transfer service, using IMPS on the OxiCash wallet. We are happy that our pioneering efforts continue to facilitate financial inclusion.
