AEPS Service Means More Than Just Cash Withdrawals — Here’s How

Category: Blog

When most people hear about AEPS service, they think of one thing: cash withdrawal using Aadhaar.

But AEPS is more than that.

Today, AEPS has become a complete financial service tool for agents, small businesses, and rural entrepreneurs across India.

In this blog, we’ll explain what AEPS service really means — and how it includes much more than just cash withdrawals.

If you’re a PayPlex agent or planning to become one, you’ll learn how to unlock full income potential from AEPS.

What Is AEPS Service?

AEPS stands for Aadhaar Enabled Payment System.

This system lets users perform basic banking functions without needing an ATM card, bank app, or internet banking.

Instead, it works using:

  • Aadhaar number

  • Biometric fingerprint

  • Linked bank account

AEPS service means giving banking access to every Indian — especially in areas where traditional banking is hard to access.

AEPS Is Not Just About Withdrawals

Most people know AEPS is used for:

  • Cash withdrawals

But that’s only one part of what AEPS offers. Through platforms like PayPlex, agents can offer:

  1. Balance enquiry

  2. Mini statement

  3. Money transfer (copyright)

  4. Cash deposit (in select models)

  5. Bill payments & recharges

  6. Quick pay with card/UPI/QR

  7. Agent commission payouts via balance pay

Let’s go through each one.

 1. Balance Enquiry

Many villagers and low-income workers don’t know how much money they have in the bank.

With AEPS, they can:

  • Use their Aadhaar & fingerprint

  • Instantly know their balance

  • Avoid unnecessary trips to ATMs or banks

 AEPS agents earn a small commission on each balance check too.

 2. Mini Statement

Customers can request a mini statement — the last 5–10 transactions from their account.

This is helpful for:

  • Tracking subsidies (DBT, PM Kisan, pensions)

  • Verifying salary payments

  • Checking for fraudulent activity

As an agent, you become a trust point for financial records.

 3. Domestic Money Transfer (copyright)

Many workers want to send money to family back home. AEPS-enabled agents can also use copyright services to:

  • Send money to any Indian bank account

  • Even if the sender doesn’t have a bank account

  • Process the transaction instantly

This helps migrant laborers, daily wagers, and others working away from home.

4. Cash Deposit (in select models)

Some AEPS systems allow micro deposit services using Aadhaar authentication.

Though not available everywhere, in certain models, customers can:

  • Deposit cash into their bank account

  • Without using ATM or branch visits

Talk to your PayPlex representative to check availability in your area.

 5. Bill Payments & Mobile Recharge

AEPS agents can offer BBPS and recharge services via PayPlex. This includes:

  • Electricity bills

  • Gas bills

  • Water tax

  • Phone/DTH recharges

  • Insurance premium payments

It makes your store a one-stop solution for financial and utility needs.

 6. Quick Pay Using Card, QR, or UPI

PayPlex also offers Quick Pay services. This includes:

  • Accepting money via payment by card

  • Displaying a QR code for UPI payments

  • Sending payment links via SMS/WhatsApp

Even customers who don’t use AEPS can pay you easily — helping you expand your customer base.

 7. Use Balance Pay to Grow Faster

As you provide AEPS and other services, you earn commissions.

This money is stored in your balance pay wallet on PayPlex.

You can use this wallet to:

  • Send instant payouts to other agents

  • Offer cashback or refunds to customers

  • Use it for quick recharges, bill payments, and more

It’s like your own digital bank — helping you move faster than cash or traditional bank accounts.
