Aadhaar Enabled Payment System (AePS) is a system developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). Banking, as well as non-banking transactions, can be performed through a banking correspondent of any bank. Under Aadhaar Enabled Payment System (AePS), the Aadhaar number is used not only to identify the beneficiary but also to authenticate transactions. The financial transactions/services include cash deposits, balance enquiry, and Aadhaar to Aadhaar fund transfers. Nonfinancial transactions like – Demographic Authentication, Best Finger Detection (BFD), and e-KYC can be done under AePS.
