Microsoft Allows Digital Payments in ‘Kaizala’ App

Microsoft Corporation enables digital payment services on its social network enterprise application ‘Kaizala’ in India. The primary goal is to help the first-line workforce to become more productive.

With this, users now have the option to make peer-to-peer payments in one-to-one or group chat conversations thru YES Bank’s Unified Payment Interface (UPI) and MobiKwik wallet. Payment integration with Microsoft Kaizala will enable users to send or receive money without leaving the app.

UPI’s payment options on Kaizala work with all 86 banks that are already participating in it.

Kaizala provides assistance designed for large group communications and work management. The application makes it easy to connect a user’s work with its work chain. Also, the application can track, assign, and collect data with individuals or large groups, included or not, in the organization.

Microsoft Office product group’s corporate vice-president Rajesh Jha said, “When we launched Microsoft Kaizala in India in July 2017, we provided consumers as well as businesses with a secure chat platform to collaborate and be productive on the go. Payment transactions within the app was a key demand from our users for getting work done and we are happy to offer it today in collaboration with YES Bank and MobiKwik.”
